Perspectiva Aérea proposes an alternative accommodation typology that challenges height and expands the imagination. A series of four transparent ovoid capsules suspended 130 m above the mountainous wall of El Chaltén enable a habitable experience that defies the laws of gravity.
For their construction, the 18 m² rooms feature a steel structure combined with a system of anchors and cables that allow the capsule to be held in place without damaging the cliff ecosystem. The polycarbonate shell allows visitors to appreciate the immensity of the surrounding mountain landscape, inhabiting the sky without harming the earth.

OVO Patagonia reimagines alpine lodging with four transparent ovoid capsules suspended 130 m above the rock face in the town of El Chaltén. Each 18 m² pod fuses a steel frame, polycarbonate shell and solar power, offering 360° panoramas with a feather-light footprint: reversible anchors and tension cables safeguard the cliff ecosystem.
Engineered for fierce Patagonian winds, the capsules rely on low-impact rope access and composting toilets. Seasonal and debuting in 2024 as Argentina’s first glamping site of its kind, OVO lets guests inhabit the sky without harming the land.
