Pudu Lodge is a warm, mountain lodge founded by a group of mountaineers and located in the heart of El Chaltén, a short walk from the town’s main avenue and the primary trailheads. The property combines friendly service with a cozy Patagonian atmosphere, making it an excellent base for exploring Los Glaciares National Park and the surrounding peaks. Guests benefit from local knowledge at reception and from special promotions and partnerships for nearby excursions.
The lodge has 28 spacious rooms, designed for rest after long days of trekking. Room amenities highlighted on the property website include king-size Sommiers (La Cardeuse), high-quality bedding, individually controlled temperature, compartmentalized bathrooms with bathtubs, hygiene amenities, hairdryers, safety boxes and internal phones. The Superior category additionally offers a minibar and an electric kettle for greater autonomy.
Pudu Lodge features a buffet breakfast served in the dining room with a wood-burning hearth. Breakfast includes homemade breads and cakes, regional jams, medialunas (croissants), yogurt, cereals, scrambled eggs and gluten-free options (sin TACC). For active guests, the lodge also prepares box lunches for treks.
Thanks to its privileged location at the foot of the main trails (Laguna de los Tres, Laguna Capri and Laguna Torre), Pudu Lodge is an ideal starting point for iconic hikes to Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. The property offers personalized advice and trail information at reception, and participates in discounts and promotions for navigation and trekking excursions to Lago del Desierto. Its comfortable common areas and garden provide relaxed spaces to plan routes, warm up by the fire, and share stories with other travellers.
