Sat, almost hidden, in the midst of a 5,800 private reserve, Explora El Chaltén has been designed with a deep respect for the natural & cultural heritage of the region in which it lies.
The surrounding rugged Patagonian landscapes, shaped by mountains, lakes, glaciers & rivers, are to be explored through treks, overland trips, ice hikes & rock climbing.

Lying in the heart of Southern Patagonia & bordering four unique territories, days at Explora El Chaltén are focused on outdoor expeditions & experiences.
Set off from the lodge through forests & across rivers to discover the natural lagoons, sky-high peaks & the rich wildlife of the Los Huemules Reserve. Hike through the Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, & be awed by the spectacular Perito Moreno Glacier. If weather allows, organise an expedition across the Southern Ice Field, considered one of the world’s most remote places.
Explora’s experienced guides help guests choose from the countless treks, rock climbs & guided trips, depending on their preferences & skills. The lodge is a cosy haven in the evening to rest & refuel for the next day’s exploration.
Located 17 kilometres from the town of El Chaltén in the Electric Valley, this Explora lodge sits on the north bank of the Eléctrico River in the heart of the Los Huemules Reserve, approximately three & a half hours from El Calafate Airport.
A transfer to & from El Calafate is included in each stay.
