Base Camp is where trekkers land after Torres del Paine: crispy-crust pizza, an ice cream sandwich layered with brownie and dulce de leche, and Austral Calafate on tap are the circuit most people cycle through on repeat visits. The mountain-lodge pub aesthetic - Oregon references, resident cats, an owner who works the room - turns a refuel stop into something you remember. Bartender Ignacio reads local history like a map and builds calafate cocktails that anchor the meal. Two operational details matter before you arrive: cash or bank transfer only (no cards), and a 10% tip is already added to your bill without announcement - not unique to this place, but it catches people off guard.
Base Camp Pizzeria does the post-trek meal better than anywhere else in Puerto Natales: crispy-crust pizza, Austral Calafate on draft, and a brownie ice cream sandwich that people order again on the same trip. Cash only, so bring pesos
