Lovers of nature and wilderness who want to get out, get active and experience the rugged scenery up close.
Thirty minutes drive away from the small town of El Calafate, on the way to Perito Moreno Glacier, Patagonia, Argentina.
All 17 of Eolo’s suites are deliberately simple and elegant, with the main focus being the huge glass windows giving stunning views of the spectacular Lago Argentino or La Anita valley. The rooms have warm, rustic décor, luxurious stone bathrooms and central heating.
Argentinian and local Patagonian dishes are served in the dining room with its incredible views of Lago Argentino, and are accompanied by a selection of local and international wines. The library is a popular spot for afternoon tea, and the hotel also offers an indoor pool and sauna for relaxing after a day exploring the outdoors.
Hiking, bike and horse riding on the 5,000 hectare Eolo property are the most popular activities here. Four wheel driving, glacier excursions, ice trekking and fishing can also be arranged. Many people, however, are content to sit for hours gazing at the view.
Patagonia’s clear skies are amazing for star-gazing, and the hotel has a telescope for observing the constellations.
