CHALTEN CAMP - in their own words:
The world has been shaped by the dreams of the pioneers. Many of them were considered crazy because their plans were impossible, there was no way to make "those things" come true. Chalten Camp took that heritage and rose in the most unthinkable place in El Chaltén.Our Camp offers a unique glamping experience that combines stunning views of Fitz Roy with minimal environmental impact. Blended with the native forest, each dome provides shelter and comfort with panoramic "windows" to the mountain range.
We have a strong commitment to sustainability and this fact also demands extra effort from our guests (such as avoiding hair dryers). Responsible and intelligent use of energy and water has challenged us in various aspects of service and the whole experience, but this, far from being a problem, has been a great opportunity to build something unique and special.

DOMES Aiming to find a balance between comfort and low environmental impact, the domes are built on stilts within the native forest. Each unit is 27 square meters, housing a bedroom and a private bathroom. They are equipped with a wood-burning salamander, 220-volt electricity, queen-size beds, generous blankets and cozy décor. These geodesic structures are the starting point for a simple but memorable stay. We offer a secluded wilderness experience, offering only 8 units: six doubles and two triples. All of our domes enjoy panoramic "windows" onto Fitz Roy.

DINING DOME & GASTRONOMY
Like the simple houses of "Old Patagonia", the dining dome is the heart of the camp, providing shelter and the ideal space to relax, the eighty square meters house the dining area and a panoramic living room with views of Fitz Roy.Three antique tables with six place settings each, give room to enjoy dinner by candlelight, either in the company of your loved ones or sharing stories and anecdotes with other travellers.
We offer a pre-set three-step menu that changes daily and includes an option for those with dietary restrictions or allergies. Each menu has been carefully designed based on available ingredients and culinary techniques that can be applied in our context of energy efficiency and responsibility.
The lunch proposal is a hearty and delicious meal, so lunch service is not offered. This is due to the fact that the check in hours are from 15:00 to 19:00 and that the proposal of the destination is to hike during the day
We encourage guests to disconnect from routine and connect with nature. For this reason and looking for balance, the main dome is the only place in the camp where you will find wifi connection. Keep in mind that Chalten is a remote area with very poor communications coverage, and we depend on this system to provide connectivity to our guests.

EXPERIENCES - AROUND THE CAMP & EL CHALTEN - click here for more details
Sleeping in a dome under the stars is an experience in itself, providing a unique opportunity to feel and discover the true spirit of Patagonia. However, there is a wide range of excursions around the camp and El Chaltén and we want our guests to make the most of their time.
Therefore, during the check in process, our host will do a concierge service, inquiring about interests and expectations, matching that information with the weather forecast, length of stay and availability of excursion providers.
