About Punta Arenas & Tierra del Fuego
A historic and booming city, Punta Arenas is an oddity at the very tip of Chile's mainland. Sitting beside the Strait of Magellan, Punta Arenas gazes over frigid waters towards the islands beyond - and indeed, it's very easy to reach their shores for a good helping of hiking amidst sensational scenery. Speaking of which, the Tierra del Fuego archipelago is a wild and woolly playground complete with soaring peaks reaching over 7,000 feet, glaciers and mirror-smooth lakes. Take on some of the most challenging and epic treks on Earth, all the while keeping your eyes peeled for unique birdlife. Your travels may also lead you to colonies of Magellanic and King penguins or Navarino Island, where the chance to traverse the world's southernmost trekking route awaits along the island's 'teeth', the Dientes de Navarino.

What to do
Why you'll love it
There's nothing like exploring remote trails that few others have, rewarded by the views that you can only find at the 'End of the World'.
Off the beaten track
When it comes to Tierra del Fuego, you've already left the beaten track well and truly behind, but Punta Arenas happens to be the starting point for a cruise to the Antarctic…
Something to think about
Visitors can expect snow on any given day in this corner of Chile - never let the sunshine deceive you - and it's best to pack for every season. It's all part of the Patagonian experience!
