The experience

A shelter where time stands still

Chelenko Lodge was born in 2019 with one certainty: the best way to discover Patagonia is to live it in silence, on the shores of South America's second-deepest lake. Our 25 m² Tiny Cabins and 14 m² Couple Rooms were designed to connect with the surroundings without sacrificing comfort.

The facilities and the setting where they sit, on the shore of Lago General Carrera — or Lago Chelenko, as the native peoples call it.

Everything was incredible — the service, the location, the cabin. I'd come back a thousand and one times!

Resting by the lake and watching the sunsets and sunrises there was the reason we chose it. The room is small, but it has everything you need — comfortable and well equipped.
