World famous trekking awaits in Torres del Paine National Park. Each valley, peak and pass hides its own treasures, be it hanging glaciers, vast pampas, twisted metamorphic rock or…
Why try glamping in Torres del Paine?
If you want to experience glamping in Patagonia, Torres del Paine's eco-friendly camps are some of the most luxurious and characterful you can find. Nestled amongst the trees, with beautiful views, comfortable beds and tasty meals, these accommodations provide a quirky alternative to a regular hotel, refugio or campsite, whilst being more affordable than the luxury lodges in the park.
There are two main camps in Torres del Paine, and although there are many similarities between them, there are some clear differences as well. The information below should help you get a feel for which one is right for you.
Glamping in Torres del Paine
Where can I go glamping?
EcoCamp
Stay in your own cosy geodesic dome between the trees, with stunning sunset views of the towers. A relaxed, sociable atmosphere provides a great place to stay after a day's hiking in the park.
Use the camp as a base for trekking, horse riding and puma tracking.
Stay in comfort, and because each building is an eco lodge, you'll know you are having minimal impact on this amazing landscape.

Patagonia Camp
Situated just outside the national park with spectacular views across Lago Toro to the Paine massif, these beautifully-finished yurts allow you to feel at one with nature in a tranquil setting.
Explore the private land, finding the less trodden path and an abundance of birds amongst the trees.
The yurts were perfect and the guides' enthusiasm and passion for the park was infectious - Jon & Pene
Serrano Camp
Serrano Camp is a quite place to stay on the bank of the Serrano River. Somewhere between glamping and camping, these deluxe tents offer a great night's sleep for hikers that seek more comfort than sleeping in a standard tent.
Delicious and hearty meals are served for breakfast and dinner.
Watch the Paine Massif turn hues of pink and orange at sunrise.

Sydney says
It's a real treat coming back to such a quirky, comfortable base at the end of a hard day's trekking. The wood burning stoves make the domes/yurts super cosy, and being able to fall asleep looking at the stars and wake up to see the sunrise over amazing views is really special
