Hostería La Chacra

Inland Patagonia


If you want a shot of local culture, nothing is better than this country lodging in a 1970s home with ample bright rooms, generous gringo breakfasts and thick down bedding. Owner Rini is a consummate host and expert on local Welsh history. It's located 6km southwest of Esquel; get here via shuttle, taxi or Trevelin bus – they pass hourly.
