Apartments and Houses in El Chaltén

Absolutely. elchalten.com isn't a booking call center based in some far-off country — we live in El Chaltén and know each host personally, in several cases since they first started their business. When you send an inquiry or booking request to any of them, you're reaching a real, verified person.

Staying in an apartment or a house gives you complete autonomy and freedom with your schedule, and significant cost savings compared to conventional hotels—especially for groups or families. Having your own kitchen means you can cook whatever you want, prepare packed lunches for excursions, and not depend on hotel schedules for breakfast or dinner. What's more, most of them are just a few blocks from the main avenue, close to supermarkets, restaurants, and the trailheads.

They usually have facilities for 2 or more people, one or more bedrooms, a kitchen-dining room, and a private bathroom; in some cases breakfast is included in the rate. The kitchen usually has a refrigerator, microwave, stovetop, and in some cases a gas oven, along with utensils to prepare and serve food and cleaning supplies. The main bedroom has a double bed or two single beds, and there may be an additional bedroom or a sofa bed in the living room. This category is ideal for couples or families who want privacy, independence, and total freedom during their stay.

Choose an apartment if you're traveling as a couple or a small group: they are usually compact units within a complex, with one bedroom and a kitchen-dining room. Choose a house if you're a family or a larger group: they offer more bedrooms, more than one bathroom, and often a private garden or patio, sometimes with a grill. Either way, you get a fully equipped kitchen and independent access.

It's increasingly common for apartments and houses to include services like a self-serve breakfast (supplies left the day before), extra linens, cleaning, WiFi, or parking. Select "View accommodation in detail" to go to each property's microsite and see all the services offered.

Some apartments and houses allow pets, but keep in mind you won't be able to bring them onto the trails of Los Glaciares National Park, where pets and domestic animals are strictly prohibited for environmental safety reasons (APN Resolution No. 59/2013).

In high season (December through February, especially January) it's best to book at least 3 months ahead, since availability fills up fast. In shoulder season (October-November and March-April), 1 to 3 months is usually enough.
