About this getaway

Each glass geodesic dome offers a king bed, private bathroom with hot water, and a terrace framed by the Patagonian Andes. The property caps occupancy at fourteen guests per night, preserving the silence and dark skies that define the experience. Days unfold with astrotourism sessions using on-site telescopes, landsailing (carrovelismo) across the high plateau, trekking, and horseback riding through the reserve.
Domos del Silencio partners with Casa Rural Starlight, Aves Argentinas, BioAndina, the Condor conservation program, AZARA, and Red Argentina Reservas Naturales Privadas — anchoring conservation and dark-sky stewardship in every stay.

Domos del Silencio was built for travellers who want the night sky as the centrepiece of their Argentina getaway.
