Patagonia. Torres Del Paine Base Camp Trek

Accommodations

Wildland accommodations in Chile range from plush, upscale mountain lodges with majestic views, to pleasantly rustic and comfortable hosterias, inns, estancias and hotels. On our Wake of Magellan trip, four nights are spent aboard the Stella or Via Australis, deluxe expedition cruise ships with panoramic views in each of its 63 cabins.
