Luxurious 'camping' in designer yurts by a stunning lake, with perfect views of the Cuernos del Paine

Imagine all the wonderful things about camping like the views, close contact with nature, and that feeling of isolation - but with central heating in your tent and a private bathroom on the side.

Patagonia Camp's 18 impeccable yurts are poised above a sparkling turquoise lake in the rolling hills just on the edge of Torres del Paine National Park, and carefully placed in the steep wooded slopes so that each has a perfect view of the Cuernos del Paine from its private terrace. Spacious, comfortable, and stylishly furnished, your yurt even has a view of the stars through a central window in the roof.

Torres del Paine National Park is just 15-minutes away, and there's pristine wilderness all around you: take a kayak out on the water, stroll to the nearby waterfall, or just wander along wooden walkways through lenga forest to the salon lounge and dining room. The food is nothing like campfire grub either: Chilean chef Ludolf Lausen creates imaginative gourmet delights from local ingredients, such as king crab empanadas and creamy rabbit lasagne. He's even found a way to make turquoise blue pisco sours to match the lagoon.

In Our Opinion

" Something totally different and unique and a once in a lifetime experience which offers camping in the wilderness in style!"

The emphasis of Patagonia Camp lies in its beautiful setting and the stunning scenery that provides picture-perfect views in every direction. Despite the natural setting, Patagonia Camp still offers a good set of facilities and services for guests to enjoy.

The yurts all offer heating, 24 hr electricity & hot water, safety deposit boxes, telephone with direct international dialling, and of course the terraces with their views.

There is also a restaurant and a separate bar and lounge area for relaxing. The beautiful restaurant capitalises on the surrounding views and serves Chilean cuisine with delicious touches and rich flavours in dishes made from the finest local ingredients, all of which are paired with Chilean wines to really provide an exquisite dining experience.

At the bar you can drink a toast to a rewarding excursion while viewing the incomparable beauty of the Patagonian landscape with Lake Toro and the Paine Massif background. Why not try a delicious glass of wine, and then go ahead to the lounge and share your experiences with other guests.

Patagonia Camp is located on the shores of enormous Lake Toro and facing the Paine Massif, at kilometer 74 of the new road connecting Puerto Natales with the Torres del Paine National Park.

Patagonia Camp can be reached from Punta Arenas via Puerto Natales or from Calafate in Argentina by crossing the border at Cerro Castillo, and transfers can be arranged for those on an all inclusive program.

Patagonia Camp has 18 yurts - comfortable, circular and completely independent tents immersed in a wonderful coigue tree forest and all with a spectacular view of Toro Lake and the Paine Massif.

Each yurt has a private bathroom and terrace and is fully equipped with a double bed (either king or twin), central heating and stylish decorations of locally handcrafted textiles and furniture. A beautiful central dome lets you enjoy the ever-changing Patagonian clouds during the day or the amazing starry sky at night, all from inside the comfort and warmth of your yurt.

All of the yurts enjoy beautiful views, a tranquil setting and high levels of comfort whilst really forming a connection between you and the surroundng nature.
