Plan Your Trip
Location
Our nature reserve is located 27 km from El Chaltén, on provincial scenic Route 23, km 122, in the De las Vueltas River Valley, Province of Santa Cruz, Argentina.
From Buenos Aires: a 3-hour flight to El Calafate. From El Calafate, it's 235 km, about 4 hours (3 hours paved road, 1 hour gravel), to the reserve.
Weather in the Andean mountains is constantly changing. Strong prevailing winds can bring all four seasons in a single day, sun, rain, sometimes even snow. In summer (December–March), temperatures range 5–25°C (41–77°F). In spring and fall (October, November, April), expect 0–15°C (32–59°F). Dress in layers, and pack both warm and cool clothes.
How to get there?
Weather
We were born with the aim of protecting the beauty of the forest, the fauna, the glaciers, the rivers and lagoons of this rural ranch.
These journeys are not tours. They are gatherings, explorations and quiet adventures that take place in a secluded corner of Patagonia, where nature takes center stage and time slows down.
Together with our guests and researchers, we protect habitat for the region's wildlife, from the endangered huemul to the torrent duck in our rivers, and share the generous display of nature with all its magic.

FAQs
Is there a minimum stay?
2 nights at the Lodge - enough to actually settle into the reserve. We suggest 4–5 nights if you want to pair our trails with what El Chaltén itself offers.
What's included in the rate?
Transfers, reserve entrance, accommodation with breakfast, and guided treks. Trail lunch boxes and three-course dinners are available at an additional cost - we recommend booking both alongside your stay.
What languages do the you speak?
Spanish and English. All of our guides are park rangers trained in-house.
When are you open?
November 1st through March 31st, each season.
Is there Wi-Fi or TV?
No TVs - that's intentional. Wi-Fi runs on a fixed daily schedule so you can stay connected when you need to, and disconnect the rest of the time.
Are transfers included?
Yes, to and from the El Chaltén bus terminal, on a fixed schedule: departure 1:30 PM, return 10:00 AM from the reserve. We suggest booking morning flights into El Calafate on arrival day and evening flights out on departure day.
What should I wear?
Patagonia can run through all four seasons in a single day. Summer temperatures swing roughly 40–77°F (5–25°C); early and late season, expect 32–59°F (0–15°C). Layer up, and bring a rain shell - appropriate trekking gear isn't optional here, it's the difference between a great day and a miserable one.
What is your sustainability policy?
We're a certified B Corp and carbon neutral, offsetting our guests' footprint against the forest actively regrowing on our own reserve.
What can I expect to see?
Frequent huemul sightings, stable torrent duck populations, and an ancient lenga forest that's still largely untouched - this is a working conservation reserve, not a curated nature walk.
