Best Places to Stay for a Running Vacation in Argentina
If you’re looking to wake up to views of the incredibly wild landscape of Patagonia, there are plenty of options to camp or stay at a variety of different mountain huts, or refugios. Most people trek the camping and refugio circuits over several days, but we have our baggage transported on our Patagonia running vacation. On our Patagonia Runcation this March, we stay at a private refugio with comfortable beds, a full kitchen, and a glacier for a backyard. We also stay in 3 and 4-star hotels and bed and breakfasts throughout the majority of the trip with private rooms and bathrooms. We think this offers the best mixture of experiences for a perfect running holiday. Depending on what type of accommodation you’re looking for, Patagonia has it all!
