Faq
The best time to visit is between October and April, during the spring and summer season. In these months the weather conditions are more favorable for excursions, with milder temperatures and longer days. In winter, the weather can be very cold, with strong winds and snow.
Punta Arenas can be reached by plane from Santiago, Puerto Montt or other cities in Chile. From Punta Arenas, travelers can take a ferry or bus to Tierra del Fuego, depending on the tour. Some tour packages include transfers, such as bus rides to the entry points to Tierra del Fuego.
No trekking experience is necessary for most tours, although some excursions may include moderate or low-difficulty hikes. However, if you opt for a more challenging trek in Tierra del Fuego, such as the circuit in Alberto de Agostini National Park, it is advisable to be in good physical condition.
The weather in the region is extremely variable, so it is essential to wear layered clothing, including waterproof jackets, thermal pants, gloves, scarves, hats and hiking boots. Although the summer months tend to be warmer, wind and rain are common, so be prepared for all types of weather.
For a comfortable and complete visit, a 4 to 7 day tour is recommended. This allows you to explore both Punta Arenas and Tierra del Fuego with enough time to enjoy the main activities, such as visits to Magdalena Island, tours of Pali-Aike National Park, and excursions in Tierra del Fuego.
Yes, especially in high season (November to March), when the demand for tours is high. Many of the places of interest, such as the penguin islands or the excursions to Tierra del Fuego National Park, may have limited spaces, so it is advisable to book in advance to ensure availability.
First choose the date on the calendar on your right and tour options. Click on book and then fill in your personal and booking information. Once received we will process your reservation requesting payment by secure credit card and send you vouchers and final instructions.
Yes, Tierra del Fuego can be reached from Punta Arenas by road, crossing the Strait of Magellan by ferry (depending on the tour). The island is connected by a bridge to the mainland of Chile at some points, but not all tourist routes include road access, as some are done by boat.

Quiero dejar una mención especial para el Sr. Juan Barra Guzmán que nos transportó en Punta Arenas, excelente en sus sugerencias, comentarios, conocimiento de los lugares, Esto nos facilitó mucho para ocupar los tiempos libres, muchas, muchas gracias le damos. Continúen brindando este excelente servicio, para que los visitantes quieran volver y recomendar a otros.

En general es muy buena la atención, muy amables todos, a nivel de guías creo que se podría dar más información y para amenizar los viajes que son bastante largos.

El servicio de los transpotes muy bien. Hoteles bien, Puerto Natales carísimo.
La organizacion del tour en general no me gustó, las excursiones de Puerto Natales muy bien, pero solo fueron dos dias. Yo contraté 6días en Patagonia, pero me dieron un día libre entero y todas las mañana libres!. No se contrata una agencia para hacer excursiones de 2.5 horas al dia (y sola). La pingüinera de Seno Otway no tiene mucho que ver. Hacer las excursiones sola con un chofer (que no es guía) no es la idea de un viaje organizado a Pataganoia, me parece un poco caro para lo que habia organizado. Organizar más excurisones y con gente, sería más económico y más divertido, o por el mismo precio, ver más cosas.

Hotels were comfortable and services good. Felipe was an excellent driver, very punctual and attentive. Guide good but penguins a bit disappointing. Would have liked the opportunity to see the King penguins colony instead. My fault that I didn't understand the possibilities when we signed up.

The only thing I would change is to leave out the cemetery tour in Puerto Arenas. The food and tour guides were great!

Todos los guías fueron excelentes, pero en especial el Sr. Julio (Punta Arenas), su calidez, trato, amabilidad fueron espectaculares. Muy contentos con todo y lo que nos llevamos de este tour es la calidad humana y claro, los hermosos paisajes.
Hotel Dreams: no tenía aire acondicionado y la llave de la habitación se deconfiguraba todos los días. Hubo algunas excursiones que pudimos realzar varias en un solo día. Por ejemplo pingüieneras y city tour; Fuerte Bulnes y Nao Victori, sentimos que teníamos medios días muertos y nos hubiera gustado pasar más tiempo recorriendo las torres de paine, tener una noche cerca.

A thoroughly great vacation package. When the boat trip was cancelled I mooched around Puerto Natales and had lunch there. Then I returned to the excellent Altiplanico Hotel and had a good read in the lounge with its fine wine, cheerful wood stove and panoramic view of the fjord. No problem. I had no phone calls so cannot comment on your "Our phone attention" box above. But I can recommend you for a well planned vacation package. Perhaps to recommend one or two restaurants in Punta Arenas and Puerto Natales, although I had all my evening meals in the Altiplanico's excellent restaurant. First class food.
Is it possible to have a Plan B, when a full day's trip has to be cancelled by the agency in charge of it? One of only the 2 full days in Puerto Natales was cancelled at the last minute due to bad weather. There is little to do, or see in Puerto Natales. Plan B planning may well be a recurring problem given the volatility of weather in Southern Patagonia.

Todo el servicio que recibimos, fue acorde a lo estipulado en el programa. Excelente atencion en todos los lugares, cumplimiento de horarios, aprovechamiento del tiempo y calidad humana. Este plan de vacaciones para nosotras fue maravilloso e inolvidable

Tratar de incorporar mas servicios de almuerzo o cenas en los tours, pues, a veces, sube mucho el costo que se termina pagando al buscar alternativas. Pedirle a San Isidro que deje las lluvias para otra ocasion. No pude ver en su magnitud las imponentes Torres del Paine, pero es cosa de la naturaleza y uno sabe a lo que va. Es solo una broma. El tour que tome, fue bastante bueno. De verdad fue mas de lo que yo habia pensado, un sueño cumplido o echo realidad.
