Destino No Turístico

Northern Patagonia


A lovely countryside getaway, this eco-camp offers true off-grid living, with solar showers and composting toilets. The hostel is impeccable, with comfortable beds with individual reading lamps and kitchen use. Now run by a Swedish-French couple, there's a strong educational component with workshops on organic farming, permaculture, reforestation, meditation and Kundalini yoga.

It's situated 1.5km from town, an uphill walk, though pickups are available from the main road (CH$5000). Cars park outside the entrance gate.
