Tourism Project in Patagonia - Investment Proposal by Immi.Legal
The El Calafate Flagship Retreat
The Citizenship by Investment Program in Argentina is not yet open. However, based on government announcements and our research team’s findings, we anticipate that the priority approved investment projects will focus on high-impact sectors, including tourism, agriculture, technology, health, energy, and mining.
Citizenship by Investment Processing Structure
To manage the investment programs, the government is establishing a special CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT PROGRAM AGENCY under the National Migration Directorate. This agency will:
1. Evaluate the security, legal, and financial compliance of each investment for the government.
2. Assess the national contribution of the project (jobs, growth, sustainability).
3. Suppose the project is approved, then the Agency will forward the approved projects to the Migration Department for further processing of citizenship by investment, without the requirement for a 2-year residency. And even without physically being in Argentina.
This framework underscores Argentina’s intention to attract high-net-worth individuals who will contribute to the country’s long-term economic growth.
An Exclusive Investment Proposal in Tourism
Our team has been preparing several flagship projects in anticipation of the program. Among them, our proposed project in El Calafate stands out as a premier opportunity in the tourism and hospitality sector.
Location: Strategically located near El Calafate city, just 15 minutes from the city center. El Calafate is a well-renowned city in Argentina, home to the world-famous Perito Moreno Glacier, and it has an international airport. Perito Moreno is one of the few growing glaciers on the planet – 250 km² of living ice.
The project location is situated directly facing the 15,000-year-old Lake Lago Argentino, the largest lake in Argentina and also the location of the world-renowned Perito Moreno Glacier, one of Argentina’s most iconic natural attractions.
Concept: A unique combination of a boutique hotel, private bungalows, premium spa & wellness center, and private villas, all designed with ecological sustainability and modern luxury in mind. Comfortable harmony with nature, silence, fire, and the glaciers of Patagonia make your stays unforgettable for a lifetime. Every guest feels that their time here is personal, holistic, and meaningful. This is not just a traditional hotel; it is an immersion into feeling, an experience, and a ritual of silence and recovery through outdoor activities.
Services & Experiences for Guests
Trekking & Nature
Hundreds of routes through ancient forests, plateaus, lakes, and mountain passes.
Water Adventures

Investment Structure
Total investment required: A 200 m² Villa with a 2,000 m² land plot, delivered turnkey to the investor, will cost approximately USD 500,000. The Elite Hotel Rental fee starts at USD 850 per night through our hotel management system, which retains a 30% management fee.
• Investor shareholding: Up to 70% equity stake in our project, with the founding team retaining 30%.
• Projected revenue:
Monthly average: USD 167,000 (at 25% occupancy breakeven). In other words, the project reaches its breakeven point with just 25% occupancy, generating approximately USD 167,000 per month. Any occupancy above this level translates directly into profit for the project.
• Asset security: 90% of investments allocated to land and real estate.
• Value growth: Expected 2x increase in property value post-construction.
Additional Income from Potential Villa Sales
Beyond the core hotel and wellness facilities, such as restaurant, spa, swimming pool, and many other amenities, the project includes numerous land plots available for development, creating opportunities to build and sell or rent smaller villas and bungalows through participation of retail investors. This flexible model enables smaller investors to participate in the project by financing individual units, while centralized hotel management ensures quality service and consistent rental demand within the project territory. For the core investor, this structure generates additional income streams not only from hotel and villa rentals, but also from villa sales and other amenities built within the project territory, offering a significant upside in both short-term cash flow and long-term capital appreciation.
Other Small Businesses Allowed on Our Project Territory
Foreign small investors are welcome to set up various types of businesses on our project territory, either under our management or on a rental basis. Examples include photo and video production services, mobile or on-location services, a store selling trekking equipment or outdoor clothing, and coffee shops. Other possibilities could consist of bike or motorcycle rental services, small souvenir shops, wellness or massage services, guided tour operations, or boutique artisan stores. Essentially, any small-scale business that complements our premium-level lifestyle and tourism focus can be considered.
Other Opportunities Apart from the Current Project
In the same neighborhood, two additional plots of land are available for sale: 3.5 hectares, priced at USD 460,000, and 1 hectare, priced at USD 140,000. Both can be purchased together.
If you have the capacity to develop all three projects and create a larger complex, we are open to this option. In that case, a 2,000 m² hotel could be constructed. Based on our calculations, the average construction cost is approximately USD 1,500 per m², which means the total required investment for a larger development would be around USD 4 million. On one of those two neighboring plots, a motorcycle tour base can be established.
Citizenship Advantage

A qualifying tourism project aligned with government priorities.
Job creation, sustainable development, and foreign currency inflow are factors that increase approval chances.

At the same time, investors benefit from a transparent, profitable model with minimal risk and high capitalization. We create the infrastructure, investors receive the keys and the income, without worries, with complete control and consistent annual growth in capitalization.
