Discover the vast and beautiful landscape of Argentinian Patagonia from forested Andean peaks to tranquil lakes and impressive glaciers.

Experience the impressive Perito Moreno Glacier from varying perspectives with a private guided walk, and discover the Estancia and surrounding lagoons and peaks on foot or horseback with the Estate's horses. At Explora El Chalten, discover Argentina's trekking capital with guided hiking and excursion options at Mount Fitz Roy and in the remote Los Huemules Conservation Area. After a day of adventure, enjoy the exceptional home-style dining and lodge facilities.

Later back at EOLO, choose to relax at the lodge or take a guided or self-guided walk to the lagoon to see flamingos.

            Day 4

            Explora El Chalten offers easy access to a range of expertly guided hikes in Los Glaciares National Park and Los Huemules Nature Reserve. We recommend the 23km Laguna de Los Tres Guided Walk for active adventurers, which traverses forests and valleys up to the Los Tres Lagoon. After crossing the river, begin the ascent to the mountain lagoon, where you'll admire the magnificence of Mount Fitz Roy. If you'd prefer a shorter, less challenging walk, the 10.5 km Electrico Valley Guided Hike, Laguna Azul or Los Huemules walks are ideal. Fly fishing, guided 4WD tours and other excursions are also available if you'd prefer less intensive activities. Enjoy a packed lunch on the trail or dine at the lodge if you'd prefer two half-day excursions.

            Today is a free day to relax at the lodge or explore the region as you wish. Starting the day with a leisurely breakfast, you may opt for a walk to Laguna de los Huemules. Beginning at the lodge, pass through a forest of lenga and ñirre trees, observing various species of birds and looking out for huemul deer tracks. Hike up to the Azul Lagoon, and take in the beautiful views before returning to the lodge where a well-deserved drink and light lunch await. This afternoon, make the most of Explora's onsite spa facilities - indulge in a soak in one of five alfresco hot tubs with amazing views of the ñirre forest, or enjoy a relaxing massage. Later, dinner options include meats cooked on the asado grill, farm-fresh vegetable-forward dishes and delicious desserts. Select from a range of regional wines to accompany your meal.
