Remote, secluded and very wild
Aguas Arriba Lodge, located 37 kilometres north of El Chaltén and just 5 kilometres from the Chilean border, offers a serene retreat on the shores of Lago del Desierto.
Accessible only by boat or foot, this eco-friendly, wooden lodge blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings. The interior, reminiscent of a cosy chalet, features wooden decor and an open fire, with large windows providing stunning views of Mount Fitz Roy.
Guests can unwind on the outdoor wooden terrace, enjoying a glass of wine while listening to the lake's gentle waves and the wind through the trees. The lodge’s suites, all with views of Vespignani Glacier, feature natural wooden designs, central heating, thick mattresses, warm covers, comfortable pillows, and crisp cotton sheets. The two Fitz Roy Suites offer direct views of Mount Fitz Roy.
Aguas Arriba operates on an all-inclusive basis, providing all meals, soft drinks, and a bottle of wine daily. The lodge's highlight is its excursions, especially hiking. Trails from the lodge meander through the forest, leading to viewpoints with breathtaking vistas of Mount Fitz Roy. Guests can also combine hiking with boat trips across the lake for a more adventurous experience.
