Aguas Arriba Lodge

When we arrived, Ivor welcomed us “home” and every moment of our time at Aguas Arriba was filled with the warmth and personalized treatment of feeling at home - but in the most beautiful, stunning place on earth. We were made to feel like cherished guests in a much loved home by Pato, Ivor and everyone on their team. The food was delicious. The accommodations were beautiful- so welcoming and comfortable, and the opportunities to hike were all around and spectacular. We would highly recommend Aguas Arriba and hope to be lucky enough to return to enjoy again everything this spectacular spot offers.

If one likes hiking, this is the place to go!!! The hikes are just amazing, the guides superb. No group hiking, basically every room has its own guide. We had the same guide for every walk. The property is in a remote location therefore you will never see anyone during your hikes. The hotel is very charming, outstanding service with great food. No issue accommodating my dietary restrictions. My wife have travelled the world and this hotel with its location and service, falls on our top five.

My husband and I spent 2 nights at Aguas Arriba on our honeymoon and it was incredible! Pata and Ivor were such delightful hosts and made us feel immediately comfortable. The food was some of the best we had on our trip and Diego, our hiking guide, was SUCH a treat. It was a serene stay and the highlight of our trip to Argentina. Thank you for everything, guys!

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!

We loved loved this remote stay. Pato and Ivor and their entire team was so generous and welcoming. Beautiful views, hikes, 3 course healthy meals, clean rooms just heavenly. Thinking of when we can come back again. This made Patagonia special for us.

Amazing lodge in a unique location that I’ll never forget! It was great for our honeymoon - we could hike and relax away from the crowds. The owners truly care and want everyone to have a great time and they curate a great expierence by hiring staff members that also care about the guests. We felt special and enjoyed this unique experience.

I highly recommend anyone traveling to Patagonia to spent a couple of days in the fabulous lodge. The meals are incredible, the views outstanding, the accommodations first class and the you will be happily taken care of by the enchanting hosts and guides.

A Dream Honeymoon at Aguas Arribas Lodge! Our stay at Aguas Arribas Lodge for our honeymoon was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The breathtaking views from our room were like something out of a postcard—stunning, serene, and unforgettable. One of the highlights of our trip was exploring the incredible natural surroundings. With the guidance of the hotel staff (Diego and Augustina), we went on unforgettable treks to Glaciar Huemul and Glaciar Vespignani. The trails were both awe-inspiring and rewarding, with majestic landscapes and pristine beauty at every turn. It was a humbling experience to witness such untouched nature, and the staff’s knowledge and passion for the area made the adventures even more special. Diego was also our Yoga teacher during our stay! The rest of the staff (Ana, Justina, Omar) went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care made all the difference. They anticipated our every need and treated us like family, creating an atmosphere of pure comfort and joy. Aguas Arribas Lodge is truly a gem. If you're looking for an unforgettable escape, especially for a special occasion, this is the place to go. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect start to our married life. Thank you for making our honeymoon a dream come true!
