EcoCamp
Torres del Paine, Chilean Patagonia
Location
EcoCamp is situated in front of the Paine towers, close to the
Hostería de las Torres hotel and right in the heart of Torres
del Paine National Park. It's 75 miles/120km from Puerto Natales,
and 230 miles/370km from Punta Arenas.
By Air:
Punta Arenas (315km) is the nearest airport, and is a 4-hour
flight from Santiago. Click on the links below for a list of

From the Airport
The packages include transfers, so all guests are met at the
airport on arrival.
By Bus:
There are several buses a day from Punta Arenas (and its airport)
to Puerto Natales. There are also daily buses to the Argentine town
of El Calafate, for visiting the famous Perito Moreno glacier. From
Puerto Natales you'll need to arrange a transfer for the final
hour-long drive.
By Car:
It’s unlikely that you’d need a car for getting around
the area, since EcoCamp will organise all your excursions and
activities in the park for you. However if you do want to hire a
car we recommend
Holiday Autos,
which offers competitive prices. You can collect your car at the
airport.
As an alternative to flying to Punta Arenas, you could drive here
from Argentine Patagonia. Fly from Buenos Aires to El Calafate (4
hours; several flights daily), then see the glaciers, and hire a
car to drive over the border into Chile. The journey time is
roughly the same as from Punta Arenas, the landscape is stunning,
and you’ll find the services and infrastructure better in El
Calafate than in Punta Arenas. Arrange car hire 24 hours in advance
and warn them you'll be taking the car into Chile.
