Ben S.★★★★4.4

Part of the W Trek experience and worth every chilly morning. The refugio stew after a 20km day is one of the best things you'll ever eat. Earn your bed.

Camila R.★★★★4.2

Camping with the Towers of Paine as your backdrop is an experience that rewires your sense of what's beautiful. Book months ahead — it sells out fast.

Thomas A.★★★★★4.7

The perfect lodge basecamp for the W Trek. Hot shower and a whisky after a 20km day feels extraordinary. The guided hikes they organize are excellent.

Laura M.★★★★★4.6

Comfortable, warm, and beautifully located. The restaurant serves incredible lamb and the staff know the park intimately. A genuine adventure hotel done right.

James W.★★★★★5.0

All-inclusive means all guides, all excursions, all meals, all wine. The property sits above Lake Pehoe with the Torres reflection in still water at dawn. Extraordinary.

Patricia L.★★★★★4.9

The best-staffed adventure property I've experienced anywhere. Every guide is a passionate expert. An incredible way to experience Patagonia deeply.

What guests say

Nicolas B.★★★★★5.0

Only 9 villas with a dedicated guide and 4x4 for each one. We went places no one else did. The private puma-watching safari was unlike anything in my 30 years of travel.

Elena K.★★★★★5.0

Total seclusion, a personal naturalist guide, astonishing food, and the wildest landscape on earth outside your door. Awasi is in a category entirely its own.

Local Insider Tips

  • Book accommodation 6+ months ahead for peak season — refugios sell out
  • Bring layers for every weather condition — it can change 4 times in an hour
  • The Argentine side (El Calafate, El Chaltén) is generally cheaper than Chilean
  • Start the Laguna de los Tres hike at 3 AM to catch Fitz Roy at sunrise
  • Rent a car for maximum flexibility — bus schedules are very limited
