EcoCamp Patagonia, Torres del Paine

Immerse yourself completely in Patagonia's landscape with a stay at EcoCamp Patagonia, a complex of domes less than a 5-minute drive from the Torres del Paine Welcome Center. If you're planning to hike Torres del Paine, this is location is ideal. It's a 5-minute drive from the trailhead where you begin the trek up to the towers. Puerto Natales is just under two hours away by car. 

This eco-friendly campsite comprises around 30 geodesic "domes" made of interconnecting lines rather than curved surfaces (think of a jungle gym). Standard options include only a bed, as you use a shared bathroom with other guests. Standards also don't have heating, while the Superior Suite Domes have heating and private bathrooms. The Suite Dome Loft is big enough for groups of four, and includes a terrace. All the domes are cozy, with natural and sustainable materials and large windows that bring the landscape right to you, so that you may not even notice there's no WiFi in this remote location.

EcoCamp Patagonia was the first hotel to use geodesic structures when it opened in 2001, and it was the first fully sustainable accommodation south of the Amazon. That focus on the environment is woven throughout, as the domes integrate into the geography and include sustainable products and technologies. The community domes enhance the sense of connection and care here, as you can have an organic meal or cocktail at a communal table in the dining dome, take a yoga class in the wellness one, or get a body treatment in the massage dome.
