Hotels near El Toro

Amazing excursions and staff. Unbelievable location and food!

Comfortable, clean, breakfast included.

Handy location for exploring the northeast part of the park. Stunning view - when the clouds permitted! Viviana and as most welcoming and friendly - as was the girl with the green hair!

Frankly we loved everything. The location, the breathtaking scenery, the exceptional staff-- many of whom were bilingual--the guided tours they took us on. We have been all over the world--and in many fantastic locations but Estancia Cerro Guido now ranks #1 overall-- we wanted an "authentic" Patagonian experience and we got it. We got to know the gauchos on this working farm, only 12 rooms or so made it unique and accessible-- the 3 courses of food a day were spectacular-- but we probably gained lots of weight. Nothing was too much to ask and everything was accommodated with grace and humor. Don't look elsewhere-- this is it! Too many staff to name-- but here's a try Pablo the "guide" leader, Havi, Ivan, Guido--the new bartender-- Camilla, Kitty, Victor--both the gaucho and the driver-- Louis--excellent driver to and from airport. They have many excellent vehicles for tours and transportation. Lovely, charming, delightful. Everything we had dreamed of-- and no crowds to deal with-- we felt like we were alone out there hiking/climbing around. Well done! Perfect!

Overall, we had a great stay at Riverline Lodge and it was a good base for visiting Torres del Paine, without paying the high prices to stay in the park. The dining options are very limited in Cerro Castillo, fortunately the dinner offered here was quite good and reasonably priced. The staff were very kind and helpful, including offering hiking recommendations, helping us dry out wet camping gear and arranging an early breakfast so that we could depart for a long hiking day.
