2025 Puerto Natales Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

It is important to visit a scenic spot in the Baie National Park in Chile. The guide told us that during the summer tourist season, this viewing platform that can be photographed with Xueshan listened to 10 tourist buses in minutes, and said that 50 people would line up for photography. The most interesting cognition of the peak travel is to go up the stairs after entering the Baine National Park. It is said that the wind speed here can reach 120 meters per second in summer, and many tourists will be turned over by the wind. Although the summer temperature will be a few degrees warmer than the present, but after all, it is the wind from the glacier, in fact, it really hangs on the skin, and the average temperature of 0 to 3 degrees is not much different. Why did the name "Baiine Paine" come from? In fact, in the local language, Paine means "blue". Here is blue, the mountain is blue, the sky is blue, and "Bene" is named. Of course, in the late autumn, a lot of colors were added to Benedict. In addition to the wrong peak, you can choose to visit Baiyuan in the late autumn. You must not miss the one-night stay in the Baie National Park and the glaciers of the famous Glacier. Since Benee National Park can be rated as "the 50 places that must be visited in the world", its power is naturally amazing. As a flower that is still rippling in the aftermath of the shock, I hope that everyone can see such a beautiful scene.

#SignUptripbestJulyHotelTester Puerto Natales is the gateway town to #PaineNationalParis. While the scenery isn't as stunning as the national park, it's still a must-see! There's a nice walking trail along the coast from the city center to Natales Harbor. Across from the harbor are sweeping snow-capped mountains, creating a breathtaking view on clear days. Milodoon Cave, located 20 kilometers outside the town, is also quite interesting. You can't tell from the entrance how vast the cave is; it's only when you walk inside that you begin to feel its mystique! #Chile #puertonatales #patagonia #chile #southamerica

Located in the southern #Patagonia region, which is part of the Antarctic region, the gateway city is Puerto Natales, accessible by bus from El Calafate. During summer, you can hike the W Trek and O Trek, but in winter, only one-day tours are available, where you can visit key attractions in the park by car. However, winter has its own charm. Despite the extremely low temperatures, the winds are not as strong as in summer. On clear days, the scenery is absolutely stunning!

Puerto Natales, a small and cozy city in Chile, is renowned for its hiking opportunities. The main reason visitors flock to this city is to explore Torres del Paine National Park. To cater to these tourists, the city is well-equipped with outdoor gear shops, hotels, supermarkets, and restaurants, all designed to support hiking enthusiasts. Additionally, there are numerous travel agencies offering a variety of hiking programs and tours. 🎯 Natales, Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena

Natalese Port Arriving at the Port of Natalaes, undoubtedly one is heading towards the Banff National Park. Attractions: Torres del Paine National Park: the most famous attraction in Chile and also in Patagonia. There are many ways to enjoy the park, from a one-day check-in tour to an 8-day "O" line trek, everything is available. Among them, the most popular and classic is the "W" line trek, which can be walked forward or backward, taking about five days with moderate intensity. There are too many trekking strategies online, so I won't go into details. The main reminder is that if you want to trek, you must book the campsite 2-3 months in advance, otherwise the entire plan will fall through. For a day trip, it's quite simple. Take a bus from the station to the park entrance in the morning. The round-trip ticket costs 13,000 pesos and takes about 2 hours one way. The park entrance fee is 21,000 pesos and is valid for three days. After buying the ticket, take the black tourist bus at the entrance to the starting point for hiking. The bus ride to the starting point is free, but the return trip costs 3,000 pesos. Once you reach the starting point, you can begin hiking. The one-day hike is very challenging. I divided this hike into three parts. The first part is a flat road with uphill and downhill sections, which leads to Camping Chileno where you can take a break. This section is about 6 kilometers long and the uphill section is quite steep. The second part ends at Torres Campsite. The difficulty of this section is not high, with ups and downs along the way, and it takes a little over an hour to complete. The third part is the climb to the top of the three towers. This section is very short, but the almost vertical climb is extremely exhausting. The official estimate is 45 minutes, but it took me about an hour and a half. The entire hike took 3 and a half hours. Going downhill is not tiring, but it can be very hard on the knees. It is recommended to wear knee pads before setting off, otherwise knee injuries can be troublesome. The normal downhill time is about 2 and a half hours. Special reminder: If you have poor physical strength, are older, or are accompanied by children, do not attempt this one-day trip. The intensity is very high and it is easy to collapse. I saw many people turn back halfway. I burned over 5000 calories all day, so the intensity can be imagined. In addition to the Three Pagodas day trip, there are various one-day tour activities such as the Gray Glacier day trip and the Lake District day trip. If you have more time, you can choose to stay in a hotel inside the park for a few nights, rent a car and enjoy the magnificent scenery of Baishiwan Park. Dining: In Natales Port, I didn't have anything particularly delicious to eat myself. If I had to say, the steak was pretty good, but it was quite expensive, averaging around 20,000 pesos per person. Accommodation: Accommodation-wise, there's nothing particularly recommended to be honest. There are many hostels in Nathalie's Port, and you can choose freely based on price. I recommend a hostel called "Singing Lamb", which has very good reviews and can be booked on Agoda. There are also many hotels in Banff National Park, but they are relatively expensive and more suitable for friends with sufficient budget. Transportation: Natalis Port does not have an airport, the airport is in the neighboring Punta Arenas. Cars: Tickets to Punto Arenas and El Calafate can be purchased at the bus station. The ticket to El Calafate costs 18,000 pesos, departs at 7:30 in the morning and arrives around 3:00 in the afternoon. If you are going to the Punta Arenas airport, you can buy a direct ticket for 8,000 pesos, with a travel time of about 4 hours. Ponta Delgada Ponta Delgada itself doesn't have much to offer in terms of attractions, and is mostly used by tourists as a gateway to Pico Island. Let me give you a brief overview. To go from the city to the airport by bus, it costs 6000 pesos per person. Tickets can be purchased at the Bus-sur station. This station also sells tickets to Natalies Port for 8000 pesos. There are several hostels in the city area with decent environments, and you can book them on Agoda. Arafat The Argentine town is a starting point for visiting Bariloche or Moreno Glacier. Attractions: Perito Moreno Glacier: an active glacier where you can see glacier calving every day. After arriving at El Calafate station, you can directly purchase tickets to visit Perito Moreno Glacier the next day for a round trip of 800 pesos, including hotel pick-up and 4-5 hours of sightseeing. The entrance fee to Perito Moreno Glacier is 700 pesos, and the boat tour costs 700 pesos per person. To be honest, Perito Moreno Glacier is very spectacular. If you haven't been to Antarctica, you will be amazed by the glacier. If you wait on the hiking trail for a while, you can see many large pieces of ice falling into the lake. Glacier hiking is a particularly interesting activity, with moderate intensity and lots of fun. Because I have seen too many glaciers in Antarctica, I did not participate in this activity. The price is around 3000 pesos in my impression. Dining: Because we cooked our own meals in the hostel and don't have any particular restaurant recommendations, but I went to town and the restaurants looked good and the prices were reasonable. Accommodation: America del Sur Hostel: A fantastic hostel with 4-person rooms that have private bathrooms and lockers, priced at $18 per night including breakfast. The hostel is located on a hillside with a first-class view of the distant Argentine lake. At night, the lobby turns into a bar serving various drinks and BBQ dinners. Vegetarians need not worry as there is a salad buffet available for 250 pesos per person. Transportation: Airport: El Calafate has an airport, but due to expensive airfare, few people take off from here. Car: The ticket to Natales Port can be purchased at the station for 950 pesos. There are cars departing at 6:30 am and 7:00 am, and some companies will pick up people at the hotel lobby. After arriving at the Chilean border, you can transfer to a free minibus to Torres del Paine National Park.

The reason for going to Baine is very rude: I want to see blue ice. There are many places in the world where glaciers can be seen, but to see the blue ice floating on the lake, it is estimated that many people only know about the Antarctic. However, the Antarctic is so difficult to go so expensive, you do not know that there is still a hundred in the world. The Benee National Park's "Grey Glacier" is named after the glacier movement that stirs the gray at the bottom of the lake. The most famous of these glaciers is ice floes that are unreal and can be seen at close range. The extremely high oxygen content in the ice makes this unique beauty. From our hotel, come to the boarding point for a walk of about 2.5 kilometers. The 180-minute "ice-seeking" journey begins! As we get closer and closer to the big glaciers, we are getting more and more excited. There is also a free pisco on board, which is Chilean national drink - grape spirits. With the strength and warmth, you have the courage to face the wind blowing from the glacier - let my hands and face break instantly skin. The wind is always too big to hide in the inner cabin. After all, everything is more important than anything else. Looking at the floating ice drifting around, I feel that my wish has been reached. The boat fare is 750 yuan/adult, and you can also pick up the boat next to the island next to the glacier. When I got off the boat and went on the road, I didnt consciously watch the world cry like a 200-pound baby - He De He He He De He! Bring back the love and come back here, I promised myself. Today's Bai Nei and yesterday are not the same again, that shy and shock, is a gift of nature!
