Our experience tells us that the ideal is 4 nights: it allows you to visit the main attractions of the area while giving you time to relax and enjoy EOLO as a destination in itself.
The minimum recommended is 2 nights, though the minimum suggested stay is of 3.
EOLO is located 30 minutes away from El Calafate, Argentina, en route to the Perito Moreno Glacier. The nearest airport is El Calafate (FTE), which is an hour away from the hotel.

From the beginning of October up to the end of April. We are closed during the months of May, June, July, August and September.
Every season of the year offers a different scenery and experience.
October and November
Are the months in which the trees and bushes of the Andean steppe and forest bloom. During this season, visitors will be able to appreciate colors, aromas and fruits that are unique to this latitude such as flowers of the Calafate and the Notro, perennial plants, wild orchids and Paramelas; as well as diverse plants and graminaceous vegetation. This season is also characterized by the re-migration of birds that flocked in the winter and then return to begin building their nests. The temperature in these months ranges from 37 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
December, January and February
Are the summer months. The weather is notably warmer although temperatures rarely go above 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The wind is intense and the days are longer and brighter. The thermal amplitude is more pronounced which means that the nights are cool and the days are warm.
March and April
Are the autumn months. The forest takes on a red hue and the trees -Lengas, Ñires and Coihues- turn a melancholy color that covers the mountainous area. During these months the days are shorter but the wind is milder, the skies are blue and clear and the nights are full of stars. The temperature ranges between 37 and 57 degrees Fahrenheit.
