Cabañas Austral

Cabañas Austral sits on a large grounds along Avenida San Martín in El Chaltén, bordering the Río de las Vueltas. The town's main trek access points are close by: the path toward Cerro Fitz Roy, Laguna Capri and Lago de los Tres starts about 300 meters away, and the trail to Cerro Torre and its lagoon begins roughly 200 meters from the cabins.

Each cabin is built for two people, with a choice of one large bed or two singles. The property offers both single-story and two-story cabin layouts, and all units are smoke-free. Inside you'll find wifi, a smart TV, a safe, full kitchen with dishware, oven, fridge and microwave. Daily cleaning service is included. Outside there's parking and shared parrillas (grills) for cooking out. Pets are welcome for an additional charge, and the property accepts credit and debit cards.

El Chaltén is roughly 215 km from El Calafate and its airport, and 454 km from Río Gallegos, making this a stop best reached by car or long-distance bus after flying into the region. The owners also run their own tourism agency for booking excursions and transfers around the area.

For couples looking to base themselves within walking distance of Patagonia's best-known trailheads, without giving up a kitchen, grill, and daily housekeeping, this is a straightforward option on the edge of town, right along the river.
