EcoCamp Patagonia

Location

Torres del Paine (central) (Torres del Paine, Chile)

Description

A sustainable lodge with dome accommodation in the heart of the national park. The domes are modelled on the ancient shelters of the region's native Kaweskar people and there are sleeping, reception, bar, restaurant and yoga domes.

Activities

The lodge offers a number of different stay packages - a 4 night wildlife safari, 5 night multisport adventure (hiking, riding, biking and kayaking) and two different W trek options.

Accommodation

There are 4 categories of domes: standard domes have a shared bathroom and no heating; superiors have a private bathroom and heater, and the suites are larger and have a private bathroom plus a woodburner. There are also loft suites which have a mezzanine level and so are more suited to families wanting to share (recommended minimum age is 6 years old).

Our comments

Book the suites for the extra space and wood burner.

When to go

Open September to May.

Client comments and reviews

Open QuoteThe scenery was stunning and well worth the drive but we didn’t realise EcoCamp was so geared to trekking. Everyone had all the equipment and although we packed for colder climes, we did not have the full gear as we are not proper trekkers. The camp was amazingly run, so well organised and the food was excellent and plentiful. All the guides were knowledgeable and fun but we did feel the ‘oldies’ as we were certainly the eldest there and would never have made the difficult walks and perhaps even the medium ones. However, we had an amazing day on the lake to visit the glaciers, it was extraordinary and luckily we had chosen this option for our first day. The second day was a visit to an Estancia which ended up a good choice as we had no rain until the evening, unlike back at the camp. It was very cold and windy most of the time but our two easy trips were dry and we enjoyed them both. The third day there was torrential rain so we opted for a massage and stayed dry. We enjoyed our evenings, joining in with everyone so that was a bonus but we expected the dome to be a little more luxurious. We had heating in the bedroom but none in the bathroom which resulted in less showers than normal as it was very cold. There were definitely some more luxurious domes which were obviously more expensive but I wonder if we should have been in one of those. We left the camp happy to get some warmth and sun again. It was a great experience but I think unless you are a proper hiker anyone over 60 would struggle, apart from the easy options.Close Quote - PN (March 2024)
