4 pools
Full-service spa
75 min from CJC

Why choose it

Exceptional included exploration program with nearly 50 guided options.
All meals and round-trip airport transfers included.
Quiet desert setting with observatory, pools and spa facilities.

Keep in mind

Very expensive.
Dining is more lodge-style than multi-restaurant resort-style.

Patagonia Camp

Highlights

300 min from PUQ

Why choose it

Exceptional adventure positioning with guided excursions near Torres del Paine.
Recurring praise for yurts, views, guides, food, and service.

Keep in mind

Remote logistics and long transfers require careful planning.
