Who hasn’t heard or read about Patagonia when surfing the web for information about Argentina? Let’s embark on an extraordinary journey into the heart of Argentina’s luxury travel scene – welcome! If you’ve ever dreamed of indulging in high-end experiences, well, travelers, this is the place to be.

Let’s check out some of the places that are going to leave you in awe while visiting!

Pristine Camps – El Calafate: Stay in a luxury camp surrounded by nature

When navigating through Patagonia, make El Calafate a must-visit on your itinerary. Spending a few days in this charming Patagonian town provides the perfect retreat for travelers. While El Calafate attracts a surge of tourists during the high season (November – March), most are drawn by the renowned Perito Moreno glacier in Parque Nacional Los Glaciares.

Regrettably, many rush through El Calafate, dedicating minimal time to the glacier before rushing to El Chaltén for extensive hiking. In my opinion, this is a significant oversight and we have THE recommendation for Patagonia to make your stay not only a bit longer, but also memorable. Pristine Luxury Camps offers the experience that’s going to be, for sure, the highlight of your trip. Each Premium Dome, equipped with an ensuite, accommodates up to three guests and includes a king-sized box spring bed convertible into twin beds. Additional features comprise a sofa bed for the third guest, a cozy living area with a coffee table, a stove, a salamander, and a minibar.

Pristine El Calafate Luxury Camp invites adventurers to immerse themselves in a variety of experiences inspired by nature’s elements—water, earth, air, and fire. Activities at the estancia are nature-inspired, from guided tours and trekking to horseback riding and E-Bike tours. You can also immerse yourself in Patagonian culinary delights with traditional cooking classes, and stargaze with astronomy lessons led by local experts.

Last but not least, something that I find extremely important to mention is that the camps also boast the largest hotel solar power plants in Argentina, contributing to its vision of becoming the first regenerative hotel company. Every reservation creates 10 m2 (107 ft2) of natural reserve, exemplifying its owners’ dedication to sustainability and the environment.

And it’s no shock, surrounded by the lake, perfectly set on a hilltop, and with mountains all around, views are something out of fairy tails. The amenities?

Surrounded by the stunning Cerro Lopez and Tronandor mountain ranges.
