Entrance to magical places in Patagonia
Puerto Natales is known as the gateway to Torres del Paine National Park, but this beautiful Patagonian city offers you much more. From here you can visit magical places such as Cerro Dorotea, Bernardo O’Higgins National Park, the Southern Ice Fields, and the Milodon Cave, named after the gigantic mammal that inhabited it in the past.
One of the biggest attractions within the city is the Costanera Pedro Montt, which offers spectacular views of the Última Esperanza Sound and the Patagonian Andes. Meanwhile, cuisine specializing in lamb and king crab make it the ideal destination for a complete immersion in Chilean Patagonia.

How to get there
How to get there by air
The best option is to travel to Teniente Julio Gallardo Airfield (PNT), with direct seasonal flights from Santiago. The airfield is 15 minutes from the center. Another option is Punta Arenas Airport (PUQ), with a greater offer of flights. From there, you must travel by land to connect with Natales.
How to get there by land
If you are coming from Punta Arenas (PUQ), you must travel 250 km along Route 9, a journey that lasts 3 hours. You can take an intercity bus to make the journey. You can also access it by sea from Puerto Montt on a ferry on the Canal Route.
Must-Know Tips
As it is a small city, it is advisable to book your accommodation well in advance, especially in high season. Wear warm and waterproof clothing, even if you travel in summer, as the climate is usually cold and humid in all seasons.
