How to get there
How to get there by air
The most direct route is to fly from Santiago (SCL) to Teniente Julio Gallardo Airport (PNT) in Puerto Natales, mostly available in high season. The frequent year-round alternative is to land at Carlos Ibáñez del Campo Airport (PUQ) in Punta Arenas. From both terminals, you will need to connect by land to Puerto Natales before heading to the park.
How to get there by land
The main access is from Puerto Natales, located 80 km from the park. Daily buses depart from the city’s bus terminal (approx. 2 hours of travel) to the Laguna Amarga, Sarmiento or Serrano entrances. If you are traveling in a private vehicle, take Route 9 North; the road is paved to Cerro Castillo and continues with gravel in good condition to the entrance.
Must-Know Tips

Do not forget sunscreen, glasses, a reusable water bottle and, if you plan to stay overnight, confirmed reservations for the camps or shelters are mandatory to enter the trails.
