Tents range from a tiny one-man tent to the huge ones with additional mid sections and detachable awnings. How will you use your tent? How many people need to be accommodated? If you are planning on having your tent just to sleep in, then a smaller one should suffice. A good rule of thumb to go by is to consider how many people are going camping. The more people you have, the more likely it is that you will want to entertain inside your tent during the evenings. Your range of camping goods should include the basics, such as bed rolls, sleeping bags and groundsheets, but for those of you with large tents you might want to get a foldaway table and chairs as well. Just remember you might need a trailer to transport it all behind your car.

You would no doubt be impressed by the fact that Charles Darwin had once visited Patagonia back in 1835, and you will find yourself just as impressed today in the camps that make hiking Patagonia an adventure that every serious hiker will want to undertake. There are some superb facilities available, such as the luxury camps in Cascada’s EcoCamps that provide excellent accessibility to the best parts of this area of the world. Hiking in the Torres del Paine has some of the most spectacular beauty to view and offers adventure to the hiker with wonderful glaciers, lakes, mountains and wild flowers to explore on foot or on horseback.
