Discover Camping Pingo Salvaje: A Natural Paradise Just 25 Minutes from Puerto Natales

Just 25 minutes from Puerto Natales and 20 minutes from Teniente Julio Gallardo Airport lies our natural retreat: Camping Pingo Salvaje, a place where nature, sustainability, and relaxation come together in perfect harmony. Located within the breathtaking Estancia Laguna Sofía, we’re part of a conscious tourism project that not only respects but also restores the biodiversity of the region.

A Sustainable Camping Experience Like No Other

At Pingo Salvaje, we believe that caring for the land means safeguarding our future. That’s why we manage our fields with regenerative principles: you won’t find fertilized, plowed, or chemically treated soil here. What you’ll experience is nature in its purest form—a haven for native flora like ñirres, lengas, and calafates, which also serve as a natural shield against the strong Patagonian winds.

Our sustainability certification isn’t just a badge—it’s a commitment. We generate power using hydropower from a nearby waterfall and offer wood-heated showers in the mornings. Disconnecting here is literal: there’s no internet or cell signal (though you can communicate from the reception area if necessary).

Each of our 10 camping sites is designed to give you the best outdoor experience:

Explore Laguna Sofía with Water Sports

If adventure is your thing, Laguna Sofía is waiting for you with its vast, tranquil waters—perfect for water sports.

Stand-Up Paddleboarding: Glide across the lagoon on a paddleboard and soak in the spectacular panoramic views.

Kayaking: Experience the serenity of the water as you explore the lagoon’s magical corners.

Live the Authentic Patagonian Experience

Camping Pingo Salvaje is the perfect place to spend the night under the stars and wake up surrounded by nature. At sunrise, you can prepare to enjoy one of our horseback riding excursions, exploring Patagonia’s unique landscapes on our gentle horses.

Being on the estancia early also gives you the chance to witness and feel the authentic life of the local baqueanos (Patagonian cowboys). Watch as they carry out their morning routines: herding, feeding, grooming the horses, and preparing for the day’s work. It’s an enriching and authentic experience you won’t find anywhere else in the world. Here, you don’t just visit Patagonia—you live it.
