Lodging
Sleeping safely, soundly and in comfort is fundamental
to enjoying the adventure of travelling in Patagonia. We use the best
available accommodation; Hotels such as the “Belisario Jara”
or “El Reloj” in Coyhaique, Fishing lodges or cabins in
Puerto Bertrand, the Ultimo Paraiso in Cochrane and luxurious estancias
in Argentina. Once on the trail we select the most spectacular sites
which satisfy our exacting safety standards and use several alternatives
for lodging.
On the “Sol de Mayo” and “Palomar” ranches,
which serve as base camps for several of our expeditions, you will sleep
in spacious mountain tents with full length, extra thick air mattresses.
The original farm buildings have been modernised and made more comfortable
but retain a cosy, work like atmosphere. There are showers, hot water
and bathrooms which make for an unexpectedly comfortable stay for such
remote locations.
The Safari style camps which make up the other four sites of the Aysen
Glacier Trail consist of a combined kitchen and dining shelter with
plenty of light, seating and a homely, cozy atmosphere which fits perfectly
with the small group travel philosophy that we practice. Bathrooms are
in a seperate construction where we have combined the most appropriate
design with a deep respect for both your personal comfort and the delicate
environment of these protected areas. Sleeping arrangements make use
of roomy Eureka! mountain tents and full length, extra thick air mattresses
. All sites make the most of the natural scenery and are positioned
to bennefit from natural light. Our aim is to have a quality home for
all clients in dramatic settings where you can really enjoy the place
in any weather conditions and with minimal environmental impact.
In mobile camps we use Marmot mountain tents combined with extra thick
paco pads which provide a perfect sleeping solution. Top of the line
mountain tents are used which guarantee a snug, weatherproof and comfortable
nights sleep. Individual cots can be provided on request. Kitchen &
dining shelters are rigged under outfitter wings to provide sheltered
dining areas and toilets are provided in individual “poop”
tents.
