Puerto Natales serves as the main gateway to Torres del Paine National Park and Cueva del Milodón. This city on the Última Esperanza Fjord is characterized by its maritime history and its role as a regional supply center. Along the Costanera, you'll discover the historic pier and enjoy views of the surrounding mountains. Its colorful houses and the bustling Plaza de Armas reflect the authentic character of this former sheep farming stronghold. Local restaurants offer fresh seafood and regional lamb. For a more pleasant trip, a visit in November or March is recommended to avoid the largest crowds. Book accommodations and tours early during high season.
