Return to nature at EcoCamp Patagonia, the first geodesic dome hotel in Chile.

Nestled in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park sits the award-winning EcoCamp Patagonia, a cluster of fully sustainable geodesic domes that have been recommended in the pages of Time, Travel + Leisure, and Conde Nast magazine. When not out exploring the park on one of EcoCamp's many excursions and tours, guests can relax with yoga, massage, or bond with fellow travelers over delicious meals and drinks in the Community Domes, all the while surrounded by the raw wilderness of Patagonia. With hikes like the famous W trek and daily excursions on the Wildlife Safari right on your doorstep, there's no limit to the adventures you'll have at EcoCamp Patagonia. 

ARGENTINE PATAGONIA

Marvel at the iconic outline of Mount Fitz Roy, be humbled by the vast Perito Moreno Glacier, and connect with nature in one of the last pure wildernesses on earth: Argentine Patagonia.

Across the border from Chile awaits another world of rock, ice, and water: Argentine Patagonia. The same forces of nature that shaped Torres del Paine have created even more treasures, such as the glory of Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre, the Perito Moreno glacier, and the lakes and peaks of Los Glaciares National Park, and the incomparable views and opportunities for adventure are endless.

CHILEAN PATAGONIA

Answer the call of the wild in Chilean Patagonia, home of mountains that pierce the sky, azure lakes, blue and white glaciers, and endless expanses of sky.

Discover a land shaped by eons of ice, water, wind, and tectonic forces - Patagonia. Be awed by the spectacular granite peaks of Torres del Paine, come face to face with the immensity of the Grey Glacier, hike the forests of the French Valley, and encounter unique wildlife while on a nature walk.  This is a place to fall in love with that will both challenge and inspire everyone who visits.

ATACAMA DESERT

Steaming geysers, lunar valleys, and shimmering salt flats - That's the magig of the Atacama Desert!

This South American high desert is brimming with out-of-this-world landscapes, diverse wildlife, ancient culture, and opportunities for adventure. Chile’s Atacama Desert may be the driest desert in the world, but what it lacks in water, it makes up for with picture-perfect scenery like the extraterrestrial Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley), the Tatio geyser field, the Atacama Salt Flats, and ancient ruins nestled in craggy valleys. And with some of the clearest night skies anywhere in the world, there’s something to marvel at day and night!

SANTIAGO AND CENTRAL VALLEY

Be swept off your feet by the art, culture, gastronomy, nightlife, cities, and world-class vineyards of Chile's central valley.

Home to the bustling capital city of Santiago, the bohemian, counterculture vibes of Valparaiso, and world-class vineyards, the valleys, mountains, and coast of Chile’s central valley has something for everyone. Start off with Santiago’s flourishing art and culture scene, thrilling nightlife, enchanting neighborhoods, and world-class restaurants, before heading to artsy Valparaiso on the coast for fresh and delicious seafood, splashy street art, colorful houses, and hill-scaling funiculars. Along the way, allow yourself be wined and dined at some of Chile’s best wineries, touring the winemaking process and tasting the succulent results in an idyllic valley setting.

EASTER ISLAND

Get off the mainland for some surf, sea, and sun, and experience the unique cultures and landscapes of Chile's pacific islands, including the legendary Easter Island.

Off the coast of Chile can be found some of the most culturally fascinating and scenic islands in the world. On Robinson Crusoe Island, you can relive the epic adventures and see the sights the real Robinson Crusoe experienced when shipwrecked there. Or, head to that mystical and beguiling gem of the Pacific, Easter Island. Surrounded by the fresh, ocean air, roam the island’s paths to visit the iconic Moai statues and other astonishing relics of a bygone era, learn about the history of the Rapa Nui people, and enjoy refreshing hikes through idyllic island landscapes.

LAKE DISTRICT

Reveal at the evergreen forests, rolling mountains, towering vocanoes, pristine lakes and rivers, and melting-pot culture of the picturesque lake district, Chile's answer to paradise on earth.

There’s no wrong way to explore and fall in love with Chile’s Lakes District, home to some of the country’s most radiant scenery. Get your heart pumping with outdoor sports like whitewater rafting, hiking, cycling, and boating in pure forests and wilderness reserves, take meandering nature walks, relax in secluded thermal hot springs, or immerse yourself in German-Chilean culture by tucking into the region’s unique gastronomy, sampling local craft brews, and exploring quaint, historical towns while mighty, snowcapped volcanoes rise in profile on the horizon.

MULTIDESTINATION

Experience the best of Chile and the best of South America.

Stretching from the Atacama desert in the far north all the way to Tierra del Fuego in the frigid south, there’s so much to see and do in Chile, which is why we’ve created the perfect way to see the best of this slender country, from south to north and everything in between. But if you want to broaden your horizons, set your sights on our “United Patagonia” programs to bring the wonders of Argentine Patagonia into the mix.

NORTHWEST ARGENTINA

Be entranced by the gem of Northern Argentina.

Hidden amongst high mountain valleys and Martian rock formations, Salta is one of Argentina’s undiscovered treasures. Home to a rich history, this sun-baked city is swimming in fascinating culture, ranging from the ancient Incans to the imported architecture and customs of the Spanish. Indulge in high desert white wine, dance at a traditional peña, marvel at the UNESCO World Heritage Humahuaca Gorge, and even more in this up-and-coming city that is sure to make you fall in love with northern Argentina.

UYUNI

Witness one of the most spectacular sights on earth.

Stretching to the horizon and beyond, Bolivia’s Uyuni salt flats are truly a sight to behold. The nearly 11,000 square mile expanse of salt is especially popular during the rainy season, when vast lakes turn the plains into giant mirrors and visitors can create incredible pictures. But rain or shine, the Salar de Uyuni is a not-to-be-missed part of any South American vacation.

WALKING & HIKING

Let’s go for a walk and explore in nature.

There is no outdoor activity more time-honored and beloved than taking a walk or a hike through the great outdoors. It’s a way of experiencing nature at the most basic and pure level, feeling the fresh air in your lungs, and surrounding yourself with wilderness.  Here at Cascada, all treks are led by experienced guides and when required, are assisted by porters. On our multi-day adventures, our small trekking groups will enjoy their adventure-packed days immersed in raw nature and spend nights in cozy refuges, campsites or our own sustainable dome hotel EcoCamp. But no matter if you’re in the mood for a leisurely stroll or a more strenuous challenge that will get your heart pumping, our many incredible hikes and treks will expose you to the many wonders of South America.
