A friend and I opted for the cabins for our week-long trekking trip. Mariano was incredibly attentive and always available to answer any questions or address any needs. The cabins were perfectly equipped, with a full kitchen, comfortable, and heated. They were close to everything: main roads and trailheads. If I return, I'll definitely stay at these cabins again!

The cabins are lovely and equipped with everything you need for a wonderful stay in El Chaltén. They are excellently located and have all the amenities you could need. They are run by the owners, so the service is top-notch, and they can even advise you on excursions, places to visit, and restaurants. We will definitely be back soon, and I highly recommend them.

Excellent cabins. Mariano is fantastic, always attentive, and his advice on treks is better than the tourist information at the bus terminal. We'll definitely return to El Chaltén and we'll always stay in these cabins again. Clean, comfortable, and with everything you need for a great vacation.
