Fodor's Expert Review Aguas Arriba Lodge

Lago del Desierto, El Chaltén, Santa Cruz, 9304, Argentina

Accessible only by boat or a three-hour trek, Aguas Arriba has a privileged location right on the Lago del Desierto, with a glimmer of Mt. Fitzroy in the distance. There are only five rooms in this wooden, country-style lodge. A large living room with an open fireplace and mountains of books make it a peaceful and relaxing stay where you can immerse yourself in the wilderness and quiet of Patagonia.

PROS

  • fantastic location
  • attended by owners
