Private jet Buenos Aires to Chapelco

Book a private flight from Buenos Aires to Chapelco (San Martín de los Andes): about 2 hours by jet to Aviador Carlos Campos Airport (CPC). Direct access to Chapelco ski resort and the Lake District, departing San Fernando.

San Martín de los Andes is the most refined mountain town in Argentine Patagonia — a compact, human-scale centre on the shores of Lake Lácar, flanked by Cerro Chapelco and Lanín National Park. Travellers who know Bariloche and want the same landscape quality and hospitality without the crowds choose San Martín. The offer is year-round: skiing in winter, fishing and trekking in summer, and a quality of life few Patagonian towns can match.

Reference experiences

Cerro Chapelco — Ski resort with more than 20 runs over about 140 ha, recognized for powder and low skier density. Usual season July–September, depending on snow. Ski-touring and off-piste infrastructure for groups with private guides.
Trekking and ascent of Lanín Volcano — The perfect cone of Lanín (3,776 m) is one of the Andes' most photogenic volcanoes. The ascent requires a permit and certified guide; the view from the summit covers Chile and Argentina at once.
Fly fishing on the Chimehuin — The Chimehuin River is one of South America's fly-fishing icons, known for large trout. Season October–April. Lodges with exclusive guides are available in the area.
Lake Huechulafquen and the Seven Lakes Route — Huechulafquen, at the foot of Lanín, is a turquoise glacial lake. The Seven Lakes Route connects San Martín with Bariloche through one of South America's most celebrated scenic drives.

Reference accommodation

Loi Suites Chapelco — The only five-star hotel in San Martín de los Andes, at Chapelco Golf & Resort (Nicklaus course), about 4 km from the airport and 17 km from town.
La Casa de Eugenia — Historic 1928 boutique property on the shores of Lake Lácar, steps from the water, with a restored manor atmosphere and highly personalised service.
Patagonia Plaza Hotel & Spa — The largest hotel in the town centre, a ski-season hub with spa and heated pool.
Exclusive lodges and cabins on private lakefronts complete a boutique accommodation offer that is more exclusive than busier regional destinations.

Gastronomy

Artisanal trout — smoked, salt-cured or in signature preparations — is San Martín's defining gastronomic product. Wild Patagonian mushrooms and Mapuche flavours add a unique cultural dimension to the local cuisine. The signature restaurant scene champions Patagonian produce with contemporary technique. Artisan chocolate and craft beer make up a local-product scene comparable to Bariloche's.

Why fly privately

At approximately 1,310 kilometres from Buenos Aires, a private flight covers the route in around 1 h 50 min–3 h. CPC airport (Chapelco) is 20 kilometres from town. Airlines and low-cost carriers fly to CPC year-round; private aviation adds your own schedule for fishing, trekking and opening or closing season travel.

Best time to visit

Winter (June–September): skiing at Cerro Chapelco, high-quality snow and an intimate mountain-resort atmosphere. Summer (November–March): trekking, fly fishing on the Chimehuin, lake activities on Lácar and Huechulafquen. Spring and autumn: ideal fishing windows, fewer visitors and Patagonian colours at their most photogenic.
