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.
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 more natural treasures like the spectacular Monte Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre, or Perito Moreno Glacier and the lakes and peaks of Los Glaciares National Park, together with the incomparable views and endless opportunities for adventure.

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.
