This ranch lies right up against the Andes facing the turquoise waters of Lake San Martín 280 km from El Calafate and the Perito Moreno glacier in the Argentine province of Santa Cruz.

On the ranch, which has belonged to the Leyenda family for more than half a century, guests can hike in beech forests, go on horseback rides, watch birds (especially condors), take part in ranch work and visit a museum dedicated to the Patagonian pioneers.

Along the road between El Chaltén and Lake Desierto, bordering on Los Glaciares National Park in the Argentine province of Santa Cruz, is the El Pilar Inn, a cozy recreation of the old houses with which Patagonian ranches are identified in most people's minds.

Guests are attended personally by the owners (a couple of mountain climbers), who fell in love with the place and built this pleasant, comfortable inn.

Ideal for those who dream of a cozy place with a view of Mount Fitz Roy and its splendid chain of towers, El Pilar offers its guests a splendid view of the Fitz Roy massif, home-made meals, and all the magic of Patagonian forests and rivers dominated by the presence of this mountain.

The inn occupies a wooded isthmus that separates two lakes of different colors in the Argentine province of Santa Cruz. There beneath the trees, cozy cabins, tasty homemade meals served in the dining room, the sauna and other amenities await guests at the end of the day's discoveries and adventures in the vast San Lorenzo region.

The light, the colors, the chronicles of the land engraved in stone, history and the positive atmosphere of the place will also be memorable.
