We operate throughout Chile, including to Patagonia, the Atacama Desert, and Easter Island, as well as into Argentina and Bolivia.
History
Cascada Expediciones was founded in 1991 by university friends Javier Lopez, Yerko Ivelic, and Nani Astorga, who studied tourism and engineering, and wanted to create a unique company that showed off the best of Chile through thrilling and immersive adventures for its clients. The mission has been a resounding success, and in 2016, Cascada proudly celebrated 25 years of helping create wonderful, lifelong memories.
Cascada’s pride and joy is the EcoCamp Patagonia, an award-winning and critically and publicly lauded sustainable hotel located in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park. First opened in 2001 and composed of eco-friendly and completely sustainable geodesic domes, EcoCamp was the first hotel of its kind in the world, and since then, has become an industry leader in sustainable lodging, inspiring the opening of eight other similar hotels worldwide.
EcoCamp not only provides a comfortable oasis in the park where visitors can connect with nature while still enjoying modern amenities and delicious meals, but also has exciting and diverse excursion options for everyone!
Mission
We provide and encourage deep connections with nature through extraordinary travel experiences that emphasize an active lifestyle, promote sustainable development of the environment, and create memorable spaces to meet and connect with people.
Vision
We want to be recognized by our customers for being an industry leader and trailblazer for nature tourism and remote, innovative, and sustainable lodging. We want our business to be recognized for being made on a human scale, by hand, where the connection with nature and among people serves as the foundation and a guiding principle. We will achieve this by developing profitable businesses that create value for our entire network of collaborators, partners, and the local community, as well as generating wealth and protecting the environment.
