The three nights and almost four days that we spent at Aguas Arriba Lodge was by far the favorite part of our family’s 16-day trip to Argentina. The Lodge is perfect for those who like relaxing in the warm comfort of a beautiful lodge and rooms with the most gorgeous view of glaciers, delicious meals, incredible service, hiking at any level, fishing and yoga. When we booked the Lodge, we hoped the all-inclusive price (except alcohol) would be worth it. After our wonderful experience, we felt the price was a bargain!|We loved every item of every meal, and the quality and variety matched what you could find in many cities. Do not bother bringing extra food, because you will not be hungry. The owners of the lodge, Pato and Ivor, are delightful conscientious hosts. They make you feel so welcome. The lodge staff to guest ratio is about one to one, when you include top notch support staff. They learn your name and try to help in any way they can, which makes the service very personable. The hiking on largely private wooded land well exceeded our expectations. We saw very few other hikers. The lodge’s boat will take you to a great variety of hikes around the large lake and if you get tired the boat will pick you up anywhere on the lake. The lodge had three excellent guides for hiking which allows guest to select the right hike for them. Our adult sons took several challenging hikes well above the tree lines, while my wife and I enjoyed hiking in the woods and to some scenic viewpoints that were more easily accessible. We tend to like hiking on our own, however, each of the three guides were so knowledgeable, friendly, and fun that it was a joy to walk with them. Yoga was a perfect way to end a long day of hiking. Fishing was as easy as putting on waders and walking out of the lodge with an already set up fly rod. | |For anyone wanting a first class experience in Southern Patagonia, the Aguas Arriba Lodge is not to be missed and forever a cherished memory. We hope to return in the future!
