Puerto Williams

The southernmost city in the world

Located south of Navarino Island, Puerto Williams holds the title of the southernmost human settlement on the planet. Its imposing backdrop is the Dientes de Navarino, a mountain range of rocky peaks that offers one of the most technical and challenging trekking circuits in South America.

In the city, the Martín Gusinde Museum preserves the anthropological legacy of the Yagán people, while the Omora Ethnobotanical Park will allow you to discover its famous miniature forests of mosses and lichens. From the port, expeditions set sail that navigate the Beagle Channel towards the mythical Cape Horn.
