Patagonia Camp

Sitting on a hill above Lake Toro, wooden walkways lead from the private yurts to base camp through a forest of rust-coloured trees. The dining area is simply designed in polished wood with enormous windows, and menus feature locally-caught fish and king crab (a real favourite!) served with a glass of house wine. This leads into the open-plan lounge, boutique and bar, where you can sip on a calafate sour and replay moments from the day with the other guests.

Dotted along the lakeside cliff, there are 20 (heated!) yurts, Mongolian-style tents that have been used on the steppes of Asia for hundreds of years. These have en-suite bathrooms with a rainfall shower, however. The interiors are plush and warm with soft throws, hand-woven tapestries and plump, welcoming beds to flop into at the end of the day. The ceiling has a see-through dome at its centre, which lets the sunlight in by day and at night, you'll fall asleep to the starry view. The Yurt Suites have a separate lounge and a terrace with a private hot tub.

Torres del Paine is filled with rushing waterfalls and idyllic lakes as well as its famous towering peaks, and there are caves where mylodons and saber-toothed tigers once lived, and wildlife-filled forests that cry out to be explored. There are endless activities to embark on including long and short hikes, kayaking, stand-up paddle-boarding, horseback riding, and fishing. Of course, there are rather beautiful places to do all of them! You can also choose to drive through the park, stopping at multiple viewpoints to find the best vistas.
