Where we are.
In the Río Eléctrico valley, 16 km from El Chaltén on the road to Lago del Desierto. Behind the houses stands Cerro Eléctrico, which gives the place its name.
Just 800 metres from Los Glaciares National Park. A refuge surrounded by native forest, to connect with Patagonia at its purest.

The house
Less space, more life.15 m² of calm, nature and digital unplugging.
Low-impact living modules, thermally insulated and lined inside, with panoramic windows designed to take in the majesty of the mountain from your bed.
How they work
Four 15 m² upcycled container cabins nestled among native trees. Built with high-grade thermal insulation, warm wood interiors and a large mountain-view window. They operate 100% off-grid, using solar power, composting toilets and natural wetland water purification. A peaceful sanctuary where the only soundtrack is the wind and the river.
There is no phone signal in the valley. Our house has wifi, in case you need to check the forecast or send a message.

About us
We are Federico and Rebecca. We have lived in El Chaltén for more than 15 years.
Federico
Grew up in Bariloche. He built much of the houses, the structure and the interior, and he is always looking for more ecological ways of doing things.
Rebecca
Grew up and studied in Paris. Fifteen years ago she decided to change her life and moved to Patagonia.
We live here
Our house is on the same land as the tiny houses. We welcome every guest in person, so you know we are close by if you need anything.
