Puesto Cagliero

Top choice in Inland Patagonia


This stylish mountain hut borders an alpine lake facing Glaciar Cagliero, a privileged spot only available to those who make the 7km trek from the information center. The on-site kitchen serves home-cooked meals to guests and some day visitors (by reservation). Shared bunk rooms come with linens and blankets. There are also showers and a wood stove in the living room.

It's essential to reserve ahead.
