With nature in mind, the Lodge has an eco-friendly architecture where many precautions to protect and preserve the natural environment have been taken.
The Lodge is a mountain cabin with a rustic style, made entirely of wood, using mostly recycled logs from a burn forest from northern Patagonia.
This rustic style, is expressed in the walls and beams where you can see the grain and the imperfections of the wood, and how it respectfully blends with the essence of the environment. Wide open views.
There are six rooms in the lodge. Total capacity: 13 people. Ask for other optios in Patagonia for more people.
Fitz Roy: 2 corner Premium Suites rooms southwest oriented, with spectacular views of Mt. Fitz Roy towards the north, and the Vespignani glacier & Lago del Desierto towards the west. (20 to 27m2)..
Glacier: 3 front-lake view Premium suites rooms located on the first floor of the lodge, west oriented, with stunning views of the Lago del Desierto and Vespignani Glacier. (From 17 to 24 m2).
Forest: 1 North oriented room with views to the Nothofagus forest. Two separate spaces that are join together by an interior door, one of the rooms can be arranged either as a cozy living room or as an extra bedroom (single/double).
All rooms have maid service included in the rate, and private bathroom.
Dinning
Fresh, natural, local. Grandma’s recipes. Together we can visit the veggie garden and why not, learn how to make some of the home made recipes?
Enjoy the meals in the dinning room with ample windows or in the living room next to the chimney or on the deck overseeing the lake with amazing views of the glaciers and Mt. Fitz Roy.
Trekking
For those who are in shape, the first proposal would be to reach de Lodge following a trail from the southern point of the Lago del Desierto , with one of our guides ( 3 hs trek ), while your luggage would be taken by boat.
Several options of treks may be considered: basically those than can take a couple of hours to treks that can be as long as one desires, that’s up to you.
Every evening before dinner we get together to plan the following day activities , which can combine either treks or boat trips.
