Visit the end of the world
Tierra del Fuego is the southernmost point of the continent and the largest island in South America. Its first inhabitants were the Selk’nam, who called this place Karukinka, which means “Our Land.”
You can explore the glaciers of Alberto de Agostini National Park, see the King Penguin colony in Bahía Inútil, and visit the Pampa Guanaco. You can also visit Lake Fagnano and Puerto Williams, considered the southernmost city in the world, or dare to sail to the iconic Cape Horn. At the end of the world, nature displays a landscape of glaciers, steppes, and fierce seas that will take your breath away.

How to get there
How to get there by air
You must travel to Punta Arenas Airport (PUQ), the main access point. From there, you can take a 15 to 20-minute flight to Porvenir Aerodrome (WPR) or take a one-hour flight to Guardiamarina Zañartu Aerodrome (WPU) in Puerto Williams by small plane.
How to get there by land
Take the ferry from Punta Delgada in Punta Arenas to cross to Porvenir in two hours. Once on the island, Route CH-257 will be the main road to access the various tourist attractions. To get to Puerto Williams, the fastest option is to take a small plane, although there is a sea route that takes about 30 hours and will allow you to explore beautiful landscapes.
Must-Know Tips
The climate in Tierra del Fuego is unpredictable and extreme, even in summer. It is essential to wear warm clothing in layers, windbreakers, and rain gear. Transportation on the island is limited, so we recommend booking tours in advance.
