Our Dome (Standard size, the smallest option)

Inside the Standard Dome – very comfortable, warm & spacious!

On the boat through the glacial lake to get to the trailhead.

We’ve reached the Towers! Great Success.

Scary bridge crossing!

Eco Camp

When you wake up in the morning, step out of your dome, and look at the peaks behind you. When you walk to your dome after dinner and look up at those stars.
The food was exceptional. Fresh local ingredients, and very veggie friendly if you need that – which is hard to find in Chile!
The fellow travelers you will meet and the conversations you will have after a long day on the trails – you’ll remember forever.

You have to keep in mind you are not at a luxury hotel, so you have to keep everything in perspective and let your hair down a bit. You’re literally at the end of the world… just go with it!
If you are not environmentally conscious, this probably is not a great place for you to visit.
The extreme weather no matter what the month – pack smart!
