Refugio Aku wasn’t born with a precise definition, and perhaps that’s where its essence lies. Located at Palacios 405, just two blocks from the heart of Bariloche, this hostel is much more than a place to sleep: it’s a pause.

A pause to disconnect from the noise, reconnect with yourself, with others, with nature. A corner where time slows down, calm finds a home, and encounters happen naturally, effortlessly.

Every space was designed to invite rest, the freedom to be yourself, and the beauty of simplicity. It doesn’t matter where you come from: when you arrive at Refugio Aku, you feel like you already belong.

Our mission is to provide a space for rest, connection, and freedom in the heart of Bariloche, where everyone can feel welcome, relaxed, and in harmony with nature and with others. Refugio Aku exists to offer a pause in your journey, a temporary home that feels like your own from the very first moment.
