HOSTERIA EL PILAR, EL CHALTÉN, PATAGONIA

THE WILDERNESS OF PATAGONIA

Rugged, dramatic and yet beautiful, the wilderness of Patagonia welcomes you with fast-flowing rivers, towering mountains, forbidding glaciers and vast lakes. And, of course, Hosteria El Pilar.

Sitting astride your sure-footed horse, picking your way along a shallow, boulder-strewn river bubbling through indigenous Patagonian forest, you can well imagine yourself as one of the original pioneers of this vast landscape.

Alone in the wilderness except for your immediate companions, exploring a landscape that changes from forest to rolling plains, lagoons to icefields, jagged toothed mountains to blue-white glaciers.

The pioneering idea won’t leave you when you return to your hotel either. If you specify Hosteria El Pilar as part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Argentina you’ll be welcomed to an antique country house with period-style architecture, grand lounge with a central, wood-burning fireplace, charming bedrooms with comfortable rustic décor and a restaurant that serves classic cuisine with the flavours of the Patagonian forest.
