Patagonia CME Hiking Tour Wilderness & Travel Medicine
Welcome to Patagonia’s EcoCamp! The World’s 1st Geodesic Dome Hotel.
This is our home for 3 nights. Many tours in Patagonia don’t get the unique opportunity to stay right in the center of Torres Del Paine National Park. We get to wake up to morning yoga with a view of sunrise over the snow covered peaks, spend the day exploring the spectacular Torres park with several different adventure opportunities and end the evening with a glass of wine and delicious food, in the company of new friends. We look forward to sharing this incredible place with you!
Over the past several years there has been an increase in international and wilderness travel adventures, particularly now post COVID-19 pandemic. As more people venture into remote settings, the likelihood of injuries and illness in these environments will increase. This course updates healthcare providers on core concepts and new advances in the fields of global health, and wilderness & travel medicine.
