Aguas Arriba

Top choice in Inland Patagonia


Set on the remote Lago del Desierto by the Chilean border, this exclusive nature lodge provides a wonderous retreat into a silent lenga forest, with decks gazing out at Glacier Vespignani and distant views of Cerro Fitz Roy. The lodge itself has only five guest rooms, plus an extensive trail system prime for hikers, with waterfalls, lookouts and secluded benches.

Green practices include composting, recycling and sustainable building.
