Travelers don’t end up in Patagonia by chance – it’s a bucket-list destination that requires careful planning and advance preparation to visit, especially considering its limited number of luxury hotels, each of which have only a handful of rooms. A once-in-a-lifetime experience, a trip to Patagonia must be done right, so deciding which property matches your style and needs is key, as staying in the right lodge will shape the way you experience this remote and breathtaking corner of the earth.

Getting from the U.S. to Chilean Patagonia involves 15 hours of flying and up to five hours of driving. While it’s possible to overnight in Santiago to break up the trip, the better option is to go all the way to the outer reaches of Southern Patagonia and stay at this industrial-cool hotel.
By all accounts, the Chilean side of Patagonia offers a better all-around experience for the luxury traveler than the Argentine side; it has more diverse and stunning landscapes, more upscale lodges and more varied experiences. However, this side is much more difficult to reach and requires about a week there to make the trip worthwhile. Travelers to South America who want to spend just a few days in Patagonia can get a taste of the wild destination on the Argentine side in a shorter timeframe. El Calafate, where Eolo is located, is just a three-hour flight from Buenos Aires.
We only feature hotels that we can vouch for first-hand. At many of them, Indagare members receive special amenities.
