"I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I currently live in New York but the best trip of my life was traveling alone to the South of Argentina and staying at Rancho Grande! Chalten is incredible. The rancho is exactly what trekkers need. Good crowd, excellent staff and Javier, a wonderful host. They all made my trip the best experience of my life. What are you waiting for? Keep on the good job, gang. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Saludos. Karina" … "HI - El Chaltén - Rancho Grande Hostel is one of the busiest hostels in El Chalten --...  more »

"Hostel Pioneros del Valle is a brand new hostel in El Chalten, developed by one of the travel companies so that its customers have a place to stay.

"Hostel service good but not for a long stay - Beds are comfortable not too soft nor too rigid, silence is required from 00:00 to 08:00 AM so it allows for you to get good sleep.

Stairs are exposed so everyone sees when you shower or carry your dirty laundry or whatever. Bathrooms are divided in men's and women's, there are two showers, two sinks and two WC in each. So far it has been enough as I had never had to wait to...  more »
