Tour Overview
The southern most regions of Patagonia conjure images of spectacular and vast landscapes and pristine wilderness. Located on the shores of the scenic Lago Toro and with views of the enormous Torres del Paine massifs, you can now immerse yourself in the natural surroundings of the national park by staying in a yurt, an independent dome style tent at the luxurious Patagonia Camp. Combining closeness to nature with supreme comfort, each yurt is furnished with a king or single beds, equipped with private facilities, heating, a terrace and is connected to the central restaurant and bar with a series of elevated walkways.
Open up your senses: Intimate contact with nature
Patagonia Camp has been designed for every guest to experience and enjoy the wonderful nature of Patagonia with great comfort.
From within our yurts you will be able to hear the sound of wind or rain while you go to sleep, gaze at the stars right from your comfortable bed, and encounter one of the most beautiful landscapes of the world from your window or every time you step outside on our walkways. You will be immersed in a beautiful, aromatic native forest of coigües and notros, and enjoy watching and listening to the many bird species that live among us.
Minimum Impact
Patagonia Camp’s architectural design and construction is minimally invasive and harmoniously adapted to the local landscape.
The entire complex is built on wooden piles which support the terraces and yurts, as well as the common areas and interconnecting walkways. This building system helps preserve the native plants, shrubs and trees that have grown in the area for hundreds of years and the dozens of birds curiously observing our guests’ arrival.

Base Torres Trek
This demanding hike is worthy of its famous reputation. After crossing the Ascencio river, you will hike approximately 2.5km in a continuous ascent with winds reaching 480 msnm, where you will have a panoramic view of the pampa, the lakes to the south and the valley itself. From there the trail will descend to the El Chileno camp. The vegetation here corresponds from the Pre-Andean Matorral and will then change quickly to an old-growth forest of Lenga trees where it will ascend again to the Torres Glacier. You will then leave the forest with one final ascent of approximately 45 minutes. The trail will take you to the base of Las Torres and the 3 granite giants will be standing right in front of you. Along the way you may encounter some of the local wildlife like condors, black eagles and the Carancho.

Then we continue an amusing walk along an outcropping between the sector of the La Administracion and the Weber Bridge, where we will enjoy panoramic views of the Paine massif and Lake Toro, as well as being an excellent place to talk about the Pioneering life in this area and the native flora, since our walk takes place between bushes and low trees surrounded by seasonal flowers like orchid
Los Cuernos Viewpoint + Condor Viewpoint Hike
Starting from the well-known and famous Salto Grande, an impressive waterfall that connects two lakes, we walk along a path of panoramic sight as we approach the mythical Cuernos del Paine to finish enjoying them from so close, that you can feel that you are inside the mountain, And without having to walk long distances for difficult trails, a spectacular alternative since we will walk through a sector of unforgettable panoramas.
With a unique panoramic view and with the possibility of experiencing the wind tunnel, the condor gazebo is a must. Starting the trek from camping Pehoé we climb steadily to the outcrop of the viewpoint. In the ascent, little by little we will be able to enjoy the panoramas that the altitude offers us. During the trip there’s a high probability of seeing condors and eagles in the sector.
Scenic full day Paine & Fauna Trail
Leaving the Camp we will travel inside the park enjoying and stopping in several viewpoints that are in the way of our beginning to the walk.
