Puerto Natales Chile

Puerto Natales is close to Torres del Paine National Park
Puerto Natales is a small, almost quaint village sitting beside the “Canal Senoret” and facing the Sound of Last Hope (“Seno de Ultima Esperanza”). It is 250km north of Punta Arenas and 120km south of the Laguna Amarga entrance to Torres del Paine National Park (by road), however, a new route was opened in 2005 which enables access to the Rio Serrano end of the Park and is only 70km by road.

A good paved road connects Puerto Natales to Punta Arenas and takes about 3hrs to drive. The road to Torres del Paine is paved as far as the border village Cerro Castillo, which takes about 50min to drive to and then a further 1hr 10min to drive the unpaved road to Laguna Amarga in Torres del Paine. The newer route from Puerto Natales to the Rio Serrano end of Torres del Paine is unpaved and takes just over one hour to drive.

Puerto Natales is an ideal stop-over place or an excellent base from which to enter Torres del Paine on day trips. It is also a base from which to travel by regular bus to El Calafate or Punta Arenas. Accommodation in Puerto Natales at the high end is at an extremely good level.

One of the benefits to staying based in Puerto Natales is that there are the attractions of evening life such as restaurants and bars.
