Patagonia Wildlife Safari: Eco Camp

In the morning, you will be picked up by a local representative either from Punta Arenas or Puerto Natales and taken to EcoCamp Patagonia, located in the world-renowned Torres del Paine National Park. Upon arrival at the Eco Camp, you will be immediately greeted by the breathtaking beauty of our surroundings. The camp blends seamlessly with the natural environment, and the eco-friendly design of the lodging domes is inspired by the traditional huts built by the Kawesqar, the indigenous people of the region. Don't let their simple appearance fool you - these domes offer comfort and protection from the elements.

After settling in, we gather for a delicious dinner and a warm welcome from our hosts. Over the course of the evening, we receive a comprehensive briefing on the exciting activities available both at the camp and in the surrounding park. Whether you're interested in hiking, kayaking, or simply taking in the stunning natural beauty, our knowledgeable guides will help you plan your adventure.

*While most activities are included in your stay at our Eco-camp, a limited number of extra cost activities are available for you to choose from. These optional activities are at your discretion, and any fees associated with them will be paid locally.

Following a nourishing breakfast, we embark on a scenic walk from EcoCamp to Hostería Las Torres, where we begin our ascent of Ascencio Valley on the eastern face of the Towers. The trail takes us through a variety of breathtaking landscapes, including arid mountain areas, beech forests, and tranquil streams. Our journey reaches a climax as we navigate the challenging moraine, a boulder-strewn terrain that leads us to one of the world's most renowned viewpoints, offering a stunning panoramic view of the Torres del Paine (2,850 m/ 9,350 ft), a trio of imposing granite monoliths created by glacial erosion. After a satisfying uphill climb, we are rewarded with a full view of the majestic Towers and a glistening glacial lake below. What could be more fitting than having lunch in such a remarkable location? We take a break to relish the scenery and savor our picnic before retracing our steps through Ascencio Valley and returning to EcoCamp.

Today we commence our adventure with a scenic drive through the park, taking in the breathtaking views of Paine Grande's snowy peaks and Los Cuernos' black, granite spires. At Pudeto Dock, we pause to drop off Grey Trek travelers and capture photographs of the abundant guanacos, Andean condors, and unique flora.

Our journey continues with a leisurely stroll along the shores of Lake Pehoe, where we witness the powerful Salto Grande waterfall, where Lake Nordenskjold spills into Pehoe. Next, we ascend to Grey Lake and explore its stunning beach. A delightful box-lunch awaits us by the lake before we embark on a boat tour across the icy waters, towards the towering blue walls of Glacier Grey, offering an incredible close-up view of the glacier.

Please note that the Grey Glacier boat tour is subject to availability and weather conditions. It is essential to confirm your reservation to participate on the day of your arrival. During shoulder season (September, October, April), the boat trip may be canceled if the boat's minimum passenger requirement of 15 is not met. In such cases, we will organize an alternative excursion in the park.

After breakfast, we say our final goodbyes to the Eco Camp.
