ABOUT EXPLORA EL CHALTEN - in their own words:
Simplicity, excellence, and the importance of a deep exploration experience are the concepts embodied in explora El Chaltén.

LOS HUEMULES NATURAL RESERVE

Our hotel is located in this natural reserve, 11 miles away from the town of El Chaltén. This private effort started under the mission to preserve and protect the region’s environmental, historical, and cultural heritage. It spans over 5,800 hectares and one of the main concerns is to protect its magical and unique surroundings. For this reason, the forests and wildlife has developed in perfect harmony with the reserve’s growth.

Los Huemules Natural Reserve has about 16 kilometers of marked trails and a view to the area’s most luring attraction: Mount Fitz Roy. In addition, it houses the Gorra Blanca and Marconi glaciers, with the latter providing an access route to the Southern Patagonian Ice field, the world’s third largest freshwater reserve after Antarctica and Greenland.

The wildlife that lives here includes condors and huemules, torrent ducks, Magellanic woodpecker, the Andean fox, and even the puma (cougar). Surrounded by lengas and native forests, travelers can follow the trails and see amazing natural lagoons, a typical landscape of this pristine place.
