Wild Beauty, Boutique Bliss
Patagonia isn’t just for rugged adventurers in weather-beaten jackets. It’s also for travelers who crave breathtaking landscapes and breathtaking accommodations — think cozy lodges, private guides, and spa treatments with views that could make you weep (in the best way).
At Edge of Wonder Travels Unlimited, we specialize in the journeys where raw nature meets rarefied luxury. Here’s your guide to Patagonia’s best secret boutique lodges — the ones the hiking crowds haven’t discovered yet.
Top Boutique Lodges in Patagonia
Awasi Patagonia, Torres del Paine, Chile
Private villas scattered across a private reserve, each with its own guide and 4WD. You’re basically starring in your own National Geographic special — but with a fireplace, hot tub, and impeccable wine list.
Insider Tip: The lodge’s flexible, private excursions mean you can explore Torres del Paine without the tour bus crowds.
Explora El Chaltén, Argentine Patagonia
A secluded lodge near Los Glaciares National Park offering epic hikes, horseback rides, and glacial views right outside your window.
Insider Tip: Book a private guide for tailored treks that match your pace (whether that’s “summit before lunch” or “leisurely glacier gazing”).
Aguas Arriba Lodge, Lago del Desierto, Argentina
Only reachable by boat or hike — which keeps it blissfully quiet. Six rooms, no TV, no Wi-Fi: just towering peaks, a mirror-like lake, and time to reconnect.
Insider Tip: Book a lakeview room — the sunrise over Fitz Roy is the kind of thing that turns casual travelers into poets.
Tierra Patagonia, Torres del Paine, Chile
Modern design that blends seamlessly into the landscape, a stellar spa, and guided excursions tailored to your style.
Insider Tip: Their spa’s outdoor hot tub is a prime spot for post-hike bliss with a view.
Estancia Cristina, Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina
Historic ranch turned boutique adventure lodge accessible only by boat across Lago Argentino. Think private trails, fossil fields, and gourmet asado dinners.
Insider Tip: Stay at least two nights to soak in the remoteness — and book the Upsala Glacier trekking adventure.
