EOLO Patagonia
EOLO Patagonia’s Spirit is a 17-room Relais & Chateaux lodge tucked into a hillside within Estancia Alice, a 4,000-hectare private ranch.
This location—roughly half way between the gateway city of El Calafate and Los Glaciares National Park—overlooks the rolling Patagonian Steppe and low mountains, with distant glimpses of ice-blue of Lago Argentino.
This is a place of profound peace; outside, the wind carries the sound of lowing cattle and the plaintive calls of lonely birds.
Food is a highlight at Eolo; most guests choose the full-board option, with meals and select beverages included.

Exploring Argentina’s Patagonia
Because EOLO is situated at the center of a 10,000 acre estancia, the adventure opportunities are endless.
Guests can go trekking to flamingo lagoons, mountain biking, bird watching, horseback riding, zip lining, and a 4X4 tour of EOLO’s unique landscape.
Perhaps the most popular excursion, however, is exploring the nearby Los Glaciares National Park, which is the largest national park in Argentina, comprising an area of approximately 1,500,000 acres.
It is home to 25 major glaciers.
Visitors can hike to the Perito Moreno Glacier where they end up on the top of the glacier.
Visitors can also do kayaking and cruise tours that put travelers face to face with some of the largest glaciers in the world.
Nearby excursions to estancias (riding, hiking) and rivers (fishing, kayaking) are another highlight. Eolo can also the starting point for trips that extend north to El Chalten (approximately 3.5 hours) or Torres del Paine, Chile (4-4.5 hours).
