Overview
Glamping adventure
To the south of the epic Torres del Paine National Park, in its own beautiful reserve, Patagonia Camp can be found surrounded by native forests at the edge of Lake Toro with views out to the Cordillera Paine.
Cozy yet still connected to nature, 20 yurts are perched on stilts, updating the Mongolian tradition with central heating, en suite bathrooms, local textiles, and dome windows that let in views of the stars. There are also two-room family yurts and some with outdoor hot tubs.
From your scenic deck, follow raised wooden walkways to the lounge and restaurant where you can enjoy traditional Patagonian cuisine, hearty fuel for days of adventure in this incredible landscape.

Community & Culture
Patagonia Camp is committed to the region’s local culture.

Most decorations, crafts and souvenirs have been created by local artisans and small local businesses.
Footprint
Patagonia Camp has been developed based on sustainable principles, with a belief in helping protect Patagonia and the planet. It was built using the eco-friendly methods, with its yurts leaving a light footprint on the environment.
The camp has implemented systems in an effort to lower its carbon footprint with a special emphasis on the optimization of energy resources through rigorous implementation of low-power/wattage electrical appliances.
Patagonia Camp is surrounded by beautiful rivers, lakes and lagoons. Water collected is purified using a 100% organic water treatment plant on site that uses a natural filtration process.
The camp also operates a worm-farmed composting initiative that helps us transform organic waste into natural fertilizer that we use in their herb and vegetable gardens as well as helping to improve the drainage of the lands of Patagonia Camp and other local farmers.
Glass and plastic use is minimized as much as possible. Anything that isn’t returnable or reusable is transported to be recycled.
