Is Patagonia on your bucket list? Do you love being active and experiencing awe through natural beauty? This is the retreat for you. We are thrilled to once again share this ultimate adventure with an intimate group of intrepid travelers. We have handpicked and carefully curated the best of the best experiences for YOU: hiking, glacial waterfalls, mountain vistas, farm to table cuisine, and of course, movement and meditation…all this with attention paid to our environmental and social impacts on this beautiful land. Picture this: we start the day with a hearty breakfast, followed by an iconic hike through a jaw-dropping landscape accompanied by our expert guides, perhaps spotting an elusive puma on our drive back to the world's first geodesic dome hotel. We meet as a group for a relaxing yoga and meditation practice, followed by Pisco sours and a delicious three-course dinner, before snuggling up in our warm and cozy domes for a restful sleep, dreaming of tomorrow's next adventure. Sound like your idea of a good time? We welcome you to join us!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get there?

While we will provide detailed recommendations regarding timing, here is the rundown:

1) fly into Santiago, Chile (SCL)
2) take a regional flight to Puerto Natales (PNT)
3) our private transport meets our group at the airport for the incredibly scenic drive into the park

what are the accommodations like?

Staying at EcoCamp is so special, we made up a new word for the experience: "Bouge-Wild!" Think bougie comforts like high thread-count sheets and sumptuous comforters, and beautiful and delicious three course dinners with some of our favorite cocktails anywhere in the world. Combine that with the "wild" experience of sleeping in geodesic domes crafted from natural materials surrounded by the natural beauty of majestic mountains, and you have Bouge-wild! We will be staying in the most luxurious domes on the property; each dome suite has wood-burining heat, and an ensuite with hot shower and composting toilet.

Is wi-fi available?

Being in Patagonia allows for a true digital detox, as wi-fi and phone service are not generally available within the park. We find that while it takes some getting used to, we're far more interested in connecting with nature and each other than the internet. And, not to worry: for emergent needs, internet and phone can be accessed through the onsite office, and guides carry satellite phones for safety. You will also be provided with contact information for the office in the event you need to be reached.

what is the physical activity level of this trip?

This is one of our most active group trips. Each day's excursion includes a guided hike, with some steep sections. Hiking distances range from 4 to 14 miles. 

What is the weather in patagonia like this time of the year?

We will be traveling to Patagonia during the heart of spring. This means wildflowers, quieter trails, and greater opportunity to see wildlife. Temperatures range from mid-30's during morning and evening, to mid 50's during the day when we're hiking. All year round, Patagonia is known for its unique climate, where you can sometimes experience all four seasons in one day: sun, wind, rain, and maybe even snow flurries.

What do i pack?

Upon booking, we will provide a detailed packing list. Learn from our previous trips: we'll share what to definitely pack, and what you can leave at home!

You Don't just have to take our word for it

Carrie and Kelly put together a perfect itinerary of activities through this wonderful week; from the excitement of climbing (including a suggestion for how each group member could best be supported which was so thoughtful), to the humbling time spent with majestic elephants in a truly ecological sanctuary putting these noble animals first, to the well-prepared yoga sessions. As someone who had never tried yoga nor meditation before, I was a little anxious, however the facilitators subtly ensured that each movement was from a place of comfort, then made more complex for those who wanted more. It really did appeal to all abilities and experience. More than anything, Carrie and Kelly understand people. Everything they do puts this week-long family first. Every need is catered for, every worry carefully listened to and kindly dealt with. The result was a truly life-changing experience and some new friends who occupy the warmest part of my heart. Thank you, keep doing what you do, you are both phenomenal people and I’m so grateful for this experience.
