艾樂琛山林小屋

This is an excellent place to stay in Calafate. The cabanas overlook lake Argentina and the Southern Andes and are just outside the main town so nice and quiet but only a 20 minute walk to the centre. If you don’t fancy the walk then taxis are only 2 dollars and easy to get. Our cabana was warm and secure largely wood built and beautifully appointed. It is in the ‘duplex’ style with the lounge, kitchen and bathroom downstairs and the bedroom upstairs. The hosts, Alejandro and Eduardo were terrific. They were friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with and gave us plenty of local information both before and during our visit helping us arrange trips and visits and giving us what turned out to be great advice on eating and drinking and also gave us the best ‘blue’ exchange rate we had during our entire holiday in Argentina. Breakfast was very nice and included bread and cakes and preserves made by the hosts. I would absolutely recommend this accommodation and would not hesitate to return. Thanks Guys. Martin and Sheila.

An amazing way to be introduced to Patagonia! We stayed at Cabanas Alechen our first nights, and we were thrilled at the beautiful flowers, cozy wooden cabin, and homemade breads and fresh juice for breakfast! What amazing hosts. Staying at the cabin made a fantastic start to our Patagonian adventure - highly recommended!
