Patagonia Camp, Torres del Paine

Perched above the shore of Toro Lake, the eco-friendly Patagonia Camp offers a glamorous camping experience that immerses you in the beauty of Patagonia. Patagonia Camp was the first luxury camp in South America, and its focus on nature is clear in the way its low-impact yurts integrate and blend into the landscape. Step outside to kayak on Toro Lake or head to Torres del Paine National Park, just 9 miles (15 km) away, to discover sites like the French Valley, Grey Glacier, and Lake Pehoé. The closest city is Puerto Natales, an hour away, and Punta Arena is four hours by car.

The 20 yurts are divided into four categories that differ in size and amenities. All except for the Deluxe option include an outdoor Jacuzzi overlooking the lake, while the Suite and Family units combine two yurts to allow for extra living and sleeping space. Each room type has a balcony and en-suite bathroom with a shower. The style is organic and cozy, using wooden furnishings, woven textiles, and sustainable materials. All options have unimpeded views of the lake and include a clear dome on the ceiling, so you can star gaze and watch the night sky from your bed.

Patagonia Camp stands out because of its care and thoughtfulness. There are various environmentally sustainable practices in place, including an on-site water treatment plant and biodegradable toiletries made exclusively for the hotel. The staff is warm and hospitable, eager to share their knowledge and passion with guests. The goal is to create an upscale and natural hotel experience in this remote region, so enjoy amenities like a terrace and dining room that serves tasty Patagonian food with a twist.
