OVO Visit
OVO Patagonia invites you to a half-day excursion that combines trekking and via ferrata, a snack and a visit to capsules suspended almost 300 meters high.
Visit the OVO Patagonia capsules!
OVO Visit is a half-day experience designed for those who want to get to know the architecture, engineering and philosophy of Ovo Patagonia up close, without spending the night in the modules.
It is a guided tour that combines a self-guided walk through the native forest, access to the via ferrata and the possibility of entering the capsules suspended in the mountain.
The proposal allows you to experience access to the height and the architecture of the OVO from within, in a safe, brief and deeply inspiring format.

The OVO Experience
OVO invites you to experience the thrill of nature, with safety and comfort, to witness the beauty of the world around you. Feel the power of the wind and the grandeur of nature. OVO Patagonia is like a cozy hideout against the wind and rain, making it a perfect place to stay in the chilly Patagonian climate. Each capsule has a 360-degree view from all three floors. You’ll find a bed on the top floor, a simple lounge in the middle, and a dry bathroom. And on the bottom floor, there’s a net that lets you hang out like floating in the air. To get to these dream capsules, you’ll walk through a beautiful native forest and go on a Via Ferrata, which is super fun and exciting. And if you ever need anything, just call an experienced mountain guide who’ll be there to help you out.
