With wonderful hosting, just six rooms and accessible only by boat or on foot, it makes a superb base for wilderness hiking, fishing or relaxing. Aguas Arriba Lodge is a rustic luxury mountain cabin spectacularly set in an area about as remote as you can get in Patagonia, in the midst of unspoilt wilderness at the foot of the Fitzroy ranges. The lodge is around 37 km away from El Chalten overlooking Lago del Desierto from a sheltered position in the Antarctic beech forest. Its construction was a true labour of love with each item brought in by boat or by foot. Hand-built from natural wood and stone, the lodge offers a stunning portrait of the natural surroundings: an emerald green lake, hanging glaciers, forests and spectacular views of the Fitzroy massif.

El Chaltén is the premier frontier town in Argentinian Patagonia. In this otherworldly setting, Don Los Cerros Boutique Hotel & Spa soars high above the village, and is framed by the magnificent cliffs and spires of Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. Elegant and elevated in position, Don Los Cerros is considered an El Chaltén classic. The hotel has 44 rooms, designed in a style that might be called log-cabin chic: they’re all large and comfortably outfitted with wood paneling, woven blankets, and deep soaking tubs. Superior rooms have huge picture windows, revealing memorable panoramic views over the valley — in some cases, the landscape is clearly visible from the vantage point of the in-room Jacuzzi.

But this is a mountain lodge. The true charm of Don Los Cerros lies in the hotel’s public spaces, like the open-plan living room with its cozy sofas, locally produced crafts, and vaulting ceilings made of rustic wood beams. Traditional Patagonian dishes — smoked wild boar, anyone? — are on offer in the hotel’s restaurant. The best tables are poised next to the windows, overlooking the village below and the mountains beyond. It’s the perfect place to plan the next day’s adventure to a nearby glacier over a glass of Malbec, or to breakfast like a king at the hotel’s lavish Patagonian-style breakfast buffet.

The Singular is an architectural landmark and one of Chile’s most impressive hotels. Located just outside the town of Puerto Natales in Southern Chile, The Singular Patagonia was created from a converted cold storage plant dating from the early 20th century, and was designated a National Monument in 1996. The buildings have been beautifully re-purposed, retaining key structures, and incorporating a museum into the lobby to display original artifacts and equipment. Overlooking the Fjord of Last Hope Sound with the Andes Mountains in the distance, the oversized guestrooms provide ample room to unwind after a day of adventure.

Most importantly, the region’s beauty can be appreciated through floor-to-ceiling, six-meter-wide picture windows, reminding guests that Mother Nature makes the best artwork. Menus in the two award-winning restaurants spotlight locally grown products, further immersing visitors in the destination. Rounding out the experience are a host of guided excursions with local experts, and a spa with expansive windows overlooking the Fjord, the snow-capped mountains and the rugged Patagonian landscape.

The award-winning architecture of the Tierra Patagonia Hotel & Spa blends perfectly with the breathtaking surrounds of the Torres del Paine National Park, which was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1978.
