Errante Ecolodge

On Sunday, early in the morning, Jorge, the owner of Ecolodge Errante, picked us up, Susana, Juan and I, and we all drove in a comfortable van to Puerto Navarino, where our expedition boat, the Loica, was waiting for us. Once everything was ready and all the passengers were comfortably on board, we started our journey with a great first stop at an amazing island full of wildlife, where we were greeted by South American terns, Imperial and Magellanic cormorants and, surprisingly, a good number of Magellanic penguins. We continued for about an hour and reached a stunning glacier called Italia, which flows very slowly from Darwin's Range (up to 2500 meters above sea level) all the way down to the Beagle Channel and into the sea. We had pisco "on the rocks" (millennial ice, by the way), enjoyed the views, and watched more carvings for a fair amount of time. Our next stop was at "Pirates Cove" where we started a walk on a pure winter's bark forest, which was really amazing, then we continued on a golden sand beach and started our way up to a viewpoint to enjoy a view of the Holand Glacier in the distance, it is such a large glacier that if feels it was much closer. Our last stop was at Hoste Island on our way back, we were welcomed by all its inhabitants, Eugenio, Ester and Claudio. Yes!!!, only three people on the island and they live all year round, rarely leaving it. Our menu was a traditional roast lamb, or cordero al palo, which was really well done by the way, it came with potatoes and salads, all produced in their own vegetable garden. It is a truly sustainable lifestyle, completely "off the grid", with solar panels providing the energy for most of the household chores. It is a little piece of paradise at the end of the world. The journey ended back in Puerto Williams just before dusk. It was hard to say goodbye to the captain and his crew. Surely many memories will remain in our minds for a long time.

A magic place at the real end of the World. Amazing view, room impecable and very cozy. Food is great. Jorge is the owner and who is looking after every detail. Totally recomendable to stay and have a great time there and/or to use it as a place to stay before and after a trekking day/s.

Très bel endroit avec vue sur le canal. Équipe très sympathique et cuisinière exceptionnelle. Jorge le propriétaire propose des activités dans la région. Les chambres sont confortables. C'est un lieu fantastique que je conseille vivement.

Eine sehr schöne Lodge am Ende der Welt. Super Essen, sehr nette Leute, tolle und saubere Betten, wunderbarer Blick auf den Beagle Kanal, selbst vom Bett aus. Allerdings über 6 km von Puerto Williams entfernt und ziemlich teuer (das alternativlose Abendessen dreigängig 50 Dollar ohne Getränke, halbtagestour Hiking mit einem Guide 85 Dollar) und leider keine Sitzgelegenheit im Zimmer oder draussen, deshalb nur 4 Sterne

Muy lindo el lodge... las piezas increibles... talvez el baño no de la habitacion no es tan amplio, pero el lugar esta relindo y los hot tubs muy buenos... cuando estuvimos nos toco buen clima y poco viento, algo que para estar en la tina a la interperie no es lo ideal... debe ser increible con nieve. Lo mejor la cocina... muy gourmet... el menu de 3 tiempos muy bueno y a un precio muy barato para la calidad!

Primera vez en puerto Williams y nuestra estancia en El errante fue perfecta. Excelente vista ! Jorge y Coni siempre atentos a lo que necesitáramos ! Piezas cómodas, cómoda muy rica y lleno de actividades por hacer: trekking, kayak, bici, paseos a la cuidad o simplemente disfrutar de la vista, calma , silencia y maravillosa naturaleza que hay alrededor. Gracias a la isla y a los que viven ahí que intentan mantener la cultura yagan.
