Review

Located on the ridge that overlooks the Hotel las Torres, the ecocamp is a quirky and interesting property to stay in while visiting this stunning park. Each of the domed rooms offers a warm and intimate place to escape from the ravages of the Patagonian weather and the perfect base to use while exploring the surrounds. Only a stone’s throw from the mirador de Torres trek, the ecocamp is one of the most environmentally friendly and still luxurious properties that we have come across.

Located in the grounds of the Hotel Las Torres, the Ecocamp offers all the same benefits as the Hotel (riding, private walking, the Mirador Las Torres) but in (in our view) a better setting.

One of the main draws of the Ecocamp is the walking tours that they run out of the camp to the “W” and “O” hiking routes. Their skilled and highly knowledgeable guides will take you through the many valleys and ravines that are all around the central mount, to then relax at either end in this warm and inviting property.

With the park becoming more and more known, the Ecocamp has also moved towards the more luxury end of the market with a range of larger domes that have twin levels (in certain cases), larger bedrooms with wood burners and plenty of warm covers and blankets. With this step up in accommodation has also come a step up in the level of food and service, both of which are very good in our view.

With a great location overlooking the valley and the Torres themselves, the Ecocamp is a great option for anyone who is either a keen walker or keen on something a little out of the ordinary. It is true that, with their eco-credentials comes a few concessions….but, again, the quality of everything we experienced here was to the highest standard and we definitely recommend it!

Feedback

Among many stunning adventures, that (EcoCamp) still stands out as one of the best. We would do it again in a heartbeat, including the suite dome! Was that ever terrific! I simply can’t say enough wonderful things about the organization of the EcoCamp staff, the excellent guides, especially Andres, Pablo, Ricardo and Roberto who accompanied us on our various treks. I would also give a shout out to the veterinarian, Victor (?), who with his team introduced us to the many special aspects of the Beguales trek. To be with only about 6 people in absolutely pristine wilderness, observing the wild horses and then exploring the area on foot turned out to be much more enriching than we could have guessed from the understated billing it had.

The food, service, organization, lunch banquets and choices were all top notch. We (and others) lacked nothing!

While this aspect of our trip to Patagonia was not as rich in wildlife as in Valdez, we did see FIVE pumas together, truly a rare sighting. I’m sure I’ve already forgotten some other “wows." - Joyce and Coby, November, 2017 Rating:

By far our favorite part of the trip! We were just devastated to have to leave. The staff, food and accommodations were all incredible. Vicente was our guide and he was awesome. We wish we would of had more time there. We will definitely be back! 10/10 - Nick and Ashlea, February, 2017 Rating:
