In the past few months, Chile has doubled down on its commitment to sustainable tourism, especially in the pristine wilderness of Patagonia. The Chilean government has rolled out new initiatives to promote eco-friendly practices in national parks, including limiting visitor numbers, supporting local conservation efforts, and encouraging responsible tourism.

New regulations now require that all visitors to Torres del Paine National Park book their trips in advance to prevent overcrowding and environmental degradation. Additionally, several eco-friendly lodges and “glamping” experiences have opened to cater to tourists looking for sustainable accommodations.

For travelers interested in eco-tourism, Chile’s focus on sustainability ensures that Patagonia remains an unspoiled destination. Visitors can enjoy hiking, wildlife watching, and glacier tours while supporting conservation efforts.
