Eco Camp Patagonia

As well as day hikes, including the most famous trek in the park to the base of the towers, EcoCamp lead W Trek and full circuit treks over five or seven days. Starting and finishing at EcoCamp, trek the iconic routes of Torres del Paine.

EcoCamp is the only accommodation in Torres del Paine that offers horse tracking – horseriding to track baguales (wild horses) with a horse expert. Join the ranks of the local “baqueanos” cowboys for a day of riding across the grassy pampas of Patagonia, luxuriating in the fresh air and stunning views, and learning more about the fascinating cultural history of the region.

Take in the highlights of Torres del Paine over several days on foot, on horseback, by bicycle and by kayak. On these excursions, each day brings a new adventure as you head out into the Patagonian wilderness for a different activity.

The Patagonia Puma Tracking Photo Adventure is a one-of-a-kind nature exploration program focusing on Torres del Paine's native wildlife, distinct ecosystems and spectacular photo opportunities across the Paine massif. Wildlife and photography expert Diego Araya takes you to the best hidden spots to capture sightings of rare species, such as the endangered huemul and the elusive puma.

EcoCamp is situated amongst the trees in Torres del Paine National Park. The geodesic domes have panoramic views of the towers, which turn warm shades of orange and pink as the sun sets behind them. The atmosphere at the camp is very chilled and sociable, with areas indoors and outdoors to hang out and relax after a day of hiking. The camp is close enough to the trail-heads to be able to walk to them to start your hike.

All domes are immersed in nature, resistant to the Patagonian elements and have ceiling windows to look up at the starry night sky. Standard domes offer more basic accommodation but are cozy and snug. Superior and suite domes are larger, with private bathrooms and heating.

Located in the heart of the park and surrounding wilderness, EcoCamp is an ideal place to practise yoga and connect with the magnificent Patagonian landscapes. The yoga dome hosts daily group yoga sessions in the morning and early evening. Private classes are also available.

EcoCamp, the region’s first fully-sustainable travel accommodation, has gained an award-winning reputation for its eco-friendly policies. It minimises the footprint of visitors in Torres del Paine National Park through its implementation of green technology. All electricity (which is very little, as most efforts go into efficiency and electricity saving) comes from a micro-hydro turbine and photovoltaic panels. Electricity is limited and only available to guests for charging camera batteries and laptops. Composting toilets, and bringing as little paper, tin and plastic into the wilderness as possible, are all ways the camp reduces its impact on the environment. All waste brought in is recycled. The camp uses local products and employs staff from the area in its social commitment to the region. It is also a supporter of the Legacy Fund, which runs projects that improve the environment, the community, and the tourism in Torres del Paine.

Suite dome lofts are two-storey suite domes, which sleep up to four people and have comfortable king-size or twin beds upstairs and twin beds downstairs. These domes, ideal for families or groups of friends, have the same amenities as suite domes, and are the largest domes available (37mt²/398 ft²) at EcoCamp.

A stay of 4 nights starts from US$1,470 per person (quadruple basis)
