Fixed-time, shared transfers are included to and from Punta Arenas airport, as well as a scheduled bus ticket between El Calafate in Argentina and Puerto Natales, plus a transfer to the EcoCamp.
There is a daily choice of 3 activities of different degrees of difficulty. These are small group guided excursions with a maximum of 16 people. The choice is dependent on the day of the week as per a fixed calendar.
Whilst on the trails, you will have the opportunity to spot some of the park’s incredible fauna.
Some of the birds you might want to add to your bucket list are: Darwin’s rhea or lesser rhea (Rhea pennata), Black-necked swan (Cygnus melancoryphus), Patagonian sierra finch (Phrygilus patagonicus, Ringed kingfisher (Megaceryle torquata), Southern crested caracara (Caracara plancus) and of course the majestic Condor (Vultur gryphus).
This Torres del Paine tour fits around what you want to see in the park. Alternatively, try the longer 7-day Paine W, the Express 5-day Paine W, or the 9-day Paine O Circuit trek, all of which pass through the EcoCamp Patagonia.

Although there were a few challenges along the way everything was set up perfectly with all transfers, accommodations & fabulous guides being as advertised and on time. It was a beautiful trip with so many highlights. We were really pleased with our hotels and so very happy that we chose this option - and your generous offer at no extra expense. The hostel guests did not enjoy their stay as much as we did - but that is normal - hostels can be challenging even up you are with your own "friends". Our guide Gaston and all others along the way were exceptional. Weather got in our way in Torres Del Paine so we missed 2 of our hikes - but know we couldn't do anything about it. We had to go out by boat as the river overflowed the roads - not sure how many days our bus driver Nico had to stay before he could drive out. Also at Magellan Strait we had to wait 9 hours before we could cross - the waves were HUGE! That put us arriving at the Estancia @ 2 am - and they still served us a fabulous dinner! The Estancia stay was one of our favorites although I wasn't thinking it would be anything great - a sheep less sheep ranch is not what I had in mind. The owners were wonderful! Hotel Mercure in Igauzu was top shelf! Another highlight! Just wanted you to know how happy we are with our experiences in Patagonia - all went so smoothly with you & the local guides ensuring us a fabulous experience. Thank you Alan & the rest of your team.

5 ***** It was very memorable - reaching the lakeside at Torre del Paine after the trek through the valley; exhausted but exhilarating. The small group bred a camaraderie that added to the wealth of experiences. The hotels were a level below what we might have chosen for ourselves but we could never haver reached such locations or enjoyed ourselves so much if not for the group experience.
