Accommodation consists of twelve rooms and five suites. The standard rooms are functional and designed with comfort in mind, while triple rooms provide additional space for families. The suites are located in a newer wing and offer a more contemporary feel, featuring spacious interiors, private entrances, a seating area, and a small terrace overlooking the surrounding landscape.
El Puma Lodge enjoys a central position in El Chaltén, just a short walk from the town’s main avenue. Its location is particularly convenient for hikers, with easy access to trailheads leading to Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre, making it an ideal base for exploring some of Patagonia’s most celebrated trekking routes.
The lodge’s restaurant provides a relaxed setting to enjoy hearty Patagonian cuisine after a day in the mountains. Breakfast is served each morning, offering a selection of fresh and homemade items to prepare guests for the day ahead. For those planning early starts or full days on the trails, packed lunches can be arranged. In the evenings, guests can return to the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the lodge, where locally inspired dishes and regional flavours complement the surrounding mountain setting.
Where possible, we like to offer a range of accommodation for each stop of your trip, chosen by our specialists as some of their favorite places to stay. To help you make the right choice, we give each property a rating based on its facilities and service, but we also look for hotels with distinct character or a location that can't be bettered.
