El Refugio de Magnolia

Experience Patagonia at El Refugio de Magnolia

Traveling, being on the road, being a migrant or an explorer means embarking on a unique, conscious, and deeply personal journey every time. It is a rediscovery of oneself, of community, and of the world. This philosophy is at the heart of who we are and of our refuge — a project conceived and developed by travelers, for travelers, with over 10 years of history.

Wake up surrounded by mountains, forests, and wildlife, and choose your adventure: hiking the Wharton trails, horseback riding like a true gaucho, yoga, cooking workshops, or taking part in local festivals and cultural events. In the evenings, share stories at our social bar or simply enjoy the tranquility of Patagonia.

Stay in a 5- or 7-bed dormitory or in a private room, all designed for comfort, community, and all budgets.

Located just 7 km from the center of El Bolsón, our refuge is a peaceful retreat, while still close to shops, cafés, and local markets. The refuge is 1 km from El Cruce de la Pampa: take the bus from Plaza Pagano (check schedules at the tourist office) toward Mallín Ahogado or Wharton, or we can arrange a taxi for you. We also offer shuttle services to reach the hiking trailheads in Wharton.
