Outside you'll see the estancia's horses and cattle and you can eat in the original part of the estancia filled with artefacts and information about the Halvorsen family that were one of the first families to settle here from Norway. The Estancia is just 3km outside Chalten giving it great views, a big garden and free transfers to and from the bus station twice a day.

The rooms are spacious with huge beds and ample room for luggage, with a tv and wifi. The bright carpets are an interesting addition, but the spacious bathrooms and decor in general do give the rooms a luxurious feel. Starting at $170 USD per night, the accommodation and quality service here as well as the delicious food and friendly staff, make this a great place to choose for a relaxing stay.

Cabins

If you fancy a change from staying in a hotel during your time in Chalten, and particularly if you want to do your own cooking for a change, we suggest the Aires del Fitz cabins, in the central part of Chalten, about a 10 minute drive to the start of the trails. As hinted at in the name, Aires del Fitz cabins have views out over the Fitz Roy Mountain.

Run by a very welcoming family, Aires del Fitz offers 4 cabins in total, with one or two rooms and one cabin that sleeps 6 persons. They are extremely warm and comfortable, with a kitchen/living room and bathroom downstairs and bedroom upstairs. In the kitchen there's a small portable stove, fridge and sink with a table at which to enjoy evening meals. Each cabin also has good wifi and cable tv in English. A night here starts at $350 USD for a one-room cabin.

We've got some great suggestions of where to stay out of town. Firstly, Hosteria El Pilar is a colonial-style lodge 20km north of El Chalten. It's a great starting point for hikes to the Electrico Valley and Piedra del Fraile and an excellent place to start a hike to Laguna de Los Tres if you don't want to leave and come back to the park.

Pilar offers 10 private rooms each with en suites, mountain views and an authentic Patagonian feel. Food is traditional, with lots of local cuisine, and Chilean wine, of course!

Secondly, the much loved FitzRoy Adventure Camp is based on the shores of Rio de las Vueltas, a huge valley in Los Glaciares National Park. Exclusively owned by one of Swoop's most trusted partners, you'll have a very comfortable night's stay here and be well fed. A night here instead of El Chalten enables you to stay in the park rather than returning to town at night.

You'll be surrounded by mountains as far as the eye can see, with stunning views and you'll feel a real sense of adventure. You can use their kayaks on the nearby Lago Condor and mountain bike either north to Lago del Desierto, or south towards Laguna Azul.
