What a little gem! My married daughter, and I reserved rooms here while visiting El Chalten to hike the Laguna de los Tres trail. The rooms and public areas are attractively and simply decorated. The morning complimentary continental breakfast was more impressive than many others that I've had, and the staff was most helpful. I was asked if there was... More

We stayed 2 nights at El Barranco. We were lucky that there was only one other guest when we were there because the walls are paper thin. The rooms are outfitted like a prison cell (no furniture except for the bed). The worse part was that the flat sheet covering the mattress was clearly too small for the size of... More

My wife and I tried to book the cabanas for 5 nights but first night was unavailable, so we stayed in hotel 1st night. Room very clean and shower very warm and welcoming. We moved to cabanas afterwards and it was very well equipped. Very warm, so much so my wife felt need to turn it down. Very rustic and... More

My husband and I stayed at El Barranco in March and were lucky enough to meet one of the owners, Sylvana. She gave us travel advice, tips on great restaurants and activities, and she even joined us for dinner and drinks during our time there. We did the Fitroy hike amongst others and fell in love with El Chalten. It... More

Posada El Barranco is a really nice place in El Chalten. Located in a small street, it is quiet but closed to restaurants and shops (everything is closed in El Chalten...). The hotel is really clean as well as the rooms which offer good comfort and good beds. Rooms are equipped with a safe. The bathroom are really good as... More

We booked the cabin for 360 pesos (3 people) but the heater did not work (due to the wind, we were told...). It was freezing cold the whole night and we all felt a bit sick in the morning. The front desk lady apologized and decided to move us to the main hotel (where the rooms are warm and beds... More

A very new look/feel pousada in El Chalten. We booked this as the Albergue Patagonia was full for our first night (which we recommend!) on hostel world. It was pretty expensive, but you pay the price if you want to spend time in Chaltan. The lobby was clean and welcoming. The staff was more or less indifferent (especially the gal... More

My sister and I were in El Chalten in Nov 2010 and stayed at this wonderful hotel. We were actually in a small cabin next to the main hotel. There was a tour group in the main hotel and they thought we would be more comfortable in the cabin - no extra charge. it was wonderful. A loft with a... More

I can't say a thing about the rooms inside the posada, as my husband and I stayed in the self-contained cabaña. But I can't say enough wonderful things about the cabaña--can't imagine why anyone would stay in the rooms when they could be here for the same price! It's an adorable AND classy little two-floor cabin with a big bed... More
