Sleeping in a yurt: a night under the stars in Patagonia Camp

Patagonia Camp Team · July 2025

You are awakened by the soft rustling of the forest. Outside, the wind slips through the coigües and lenga trees, and the Toro Lake begins to reflect the first shades of dawn. From bed, covered with a blanket, you watch the sky turn pink through the central dome of your yurt.

In the distance, the Paine Massif begins to loom into sharp relief. It is still early, but you know there is no rush. You are in Patagonia, surrounded by silence, nature and that feeling of being in exactly the right place.

Sleeping in a yurt at Patagonia Camp is an experience that is hard to compare. Each of the 23 yurts was designed to offer comfort, privacy and connection with the environment, without losing sight of the principles of sustainability that guide everything we do.

What is the origin of yurts?

Originally from Central Asia, yurts – or gers, as they are called in Mongolia – are circular structures that have been used by nomadic people for more than two thousand years. Their shape follows both practical and symbolic logic: they resist wind, retain heat, and their open, cornerless interior invites sharing.

At their center, the upper circle that once served as a smoke outlet now becomes a window to the sky. At Patagonia Camp, we have adapted this ancestral construction to the Patagonian landscape, fusing tradition and modernity.

Five types of yurts, an experience for every traveler. All yurts are connected by wooden walkways and strategically located among native trees, allowing you to enjoy the views. Inside, each yurt has central heating, private bathroom, ecological amenities, local identity-decoration and a terrace where you can relax listening to nature.

These are the five categories of yurts:

Yurt Deluxe
Ideal for those seeking relaxation and connection with nature. It has 20 m², double or twin beds, full bathroom and a cozy terrace. Native forest views.
Yurt Deluxe with jacuzzi
The same comfort of the Yurt Deluxe, but with the extra of a private jacuzzi on the terrace. Perfect to soak in the sunset while the sky is tinged with colors. Native forest and Paine Massif views.
Lakefront Yurt
Similar to the Deluxe with Jacuzzi, but located right in front of the lake. Here, the view is everything.

An experience that goes beyond lodging

Sleeping in a yurt is not only resting: it is listening to the rain without getting wet, seeing the stars without getting out of bed, and feeling that you are part of the landscape without leaving a trace. Everything is designed to take care of the environment and offer you a comfortable stay: from the elevated paths that protect the vegetation to the use of clean energy and sustainable waste management.

At Patagonia Camp, each yurt is a refuge. A circular pause in the middle of the landscape, where architecture is at the service of the environment and the traveler’s wellbeing. Whether you are traveling alone, as a couple or as a family, there is a yurt waiting for you to spend an unforgettable night under the stars.
