11 Upscale Campsites Around the World
By Liz Gray
Ecocamp Patagonia Torres del Paine National Park, Chile Venture to South America for a stay at sustainable Ecocamp Patagonia. Located in Torres del Paine National Park, the dramatic mountain formations offer some of the best "trekking" in the world, and the camp is powered by 100 percent natural and renewable sources. The accommodations: Huts are built in the same geodesic shape as the huts of the ancient native Kawesqua people to withstand high Patagonian winds, but the interior still offers the sophistication of a 4-star hotel. The food: Dinner is served in one of the camp's two giant domes, and the three-course meal starts with Ecocamp's famous pisco sour. Outdoor activities: Trek through the craggy mountains of Torres del Paine, walk along the banks of glacial lakes, look for birds and wildflowers or go horseback riding.
