Lodging

Staying right where the action happens doesn’t mean you need to be uncomfortable, cold, or eat from a can. Algar has made a strong point about having 5 star lodging while being in a secluded unspoiled area. You will be enjoying our ranch grown vegetables, pasture raised beef, locally caught trout, and the best of Argentina’s wines, and of course, the game you harvest; all prepared by our in-house chef.

All our very spacious rooms have private bathroom, and are tastefully decorated.

About Us

Algar Safaris began its operations in 1991, making it the longest standing hunting company in South America, and one of the oldest in the world. Family owned and operated, running on 100% private land, it has been a beacon of stewardship of the land and the biggest contributor to biological diversity and quality of game.

Going into our fourth decade we hold the same commitment to the environment to have an approved and endorsed proactive wildlife management plan.
