Plan notes

Useful context before you go

The stay described spans a few days, so this plan uses a three-day EcoCamp base. Expect chilly conditions on walks and bring warm layers. Standard domes have shared bathrooms; superior and suite domes have en-suite bathrooms, and suites also have a fireplace. There is no kettle in the dome: hot water is available from a boiler in the common room. Separate rubbish into the camp’s recycling streams, and use biodegradable toiletries to help protect the ecosystem.

What is in this plan

Days 1–3: EcoCamp Base and Guided Park Excursions

Use EcoCamp as the base for this short stay. Choose from the camp’s easy, medium, or hard excursion options, then leave time for meals, the afternoon coffee break, and yoga. The reported Base of the Towers hike is a 20 km round trip; the French Valley option combines a boat ride with a valley hike. These are choices described during the stay, not activities completed on the featured excursion day.

  1. EcoCamp PatagoniaEcoCamp Patagonia, Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

    Stay in one of the geodesic domes. Standard domes have shared bathrooms; superior and suite options have en-suite bathrooms, and the suite also has a fireplace and sitting area. The camp uses a common-room boiler for hot water rather than in-room kettles.

  2. EcoCamp PatagoniaEcoCamp Patagonia, Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

    Breakfast and dinner are served in the communal dining area, with a three-course dinner that changes nightly. Breakfast includes a range of savory and sweet choices, fruit, yogurt, and drinks; breakfast timing can depend on the excursion schedule.

  3. EcoCamp PatagoniaEcoCamp Patagonia, Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

    Pack a lunch box before heading out: the camp provides containers and the guests describe taking sandwiches, salads, lettuce, and fresh orange juice. A packed lunch suits the day excursion schedule.

  4. Lago SarmientoLago Sarmiento, Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

    Lake Sarmiento was the destination for the easy excursion described during the stay. The walk was chilly despite clear, beautiful views, so bring a warm layer for time outdoors.

  5. Base of the TowersBase of the Towers, Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

    Consider the Base of the Towers excursion only if you want a demanding day: it was described as a 20 km round trip. The guests had already done it on another day and chose an easier outing this time.

  6. French ValleyValle del Francés, Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

    The French Valley was presented as a more demanding excursion option involving a boat ride followed by a hike up the valley. Confirm the day’s excursion details with the camp when choosing between the available activity levels.

    A daily coffee break runs from 4:00 to 6:00, with coffee, hot chocolate, tea, pastries, and sweets. It is a convenient rest stop after an excursion and before dinner.
