10 Travellers Have The Chance To Win A Free Trip To Patagonia

Tucked within Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park, this family-owned lodge offers an immersive experience in one of the world’s most breathtaking natural landscapes, with dramatic Patagonian mountains and iconic viewpoints like Base Torres close by. It runs the ‘10 Volunteers for 10 Days’ scheme, where selected guests get an all‑expenses‑paid stay in exchange for hands‑on conservation work such as clearing vegetation, digging pathways, and adding reinforcements like rock steps and wooden bridges to protect fragile terrain from erosion and visitor damage. In 2024, two groups of five volunteers stayed at the lodge for five nights and helped restore more than 450 metres of path, reinforcing the lodge’s focus on sustainability and fostering a deep connection between travellers and the surrounding environment. - Liv Kelly
