Why Puerto Natales?

Discover the unique charms this city has to offer.

Cuisine

In Puerto Natales, the cold is fought with unique and intense flavors. Try lamb on a stick, both tender and smoky, or a crab soup so delicious that you will want to have seconds. The local food mixes Patagonian tradition with a gourmet touch: from guanaco empanadas to calafate sour. For dessert? A local rhubarb cheesecake. Eating here is as adventurous as exploring its territories, but much tastier!

Handicraft

Local handicraft is as authentic as its landscapes. Here you will find sheep wool fabrics, both soft and warm, made with ancestral techniques. There are guanaco figures carved in lenga, jewelry with southern stones, and gaucho-style leather craft. Each piece has a unique story to tell. Get a poncho, a scarf, or a decorated mate! More than memories, they are bits and pieces from the south of the world.

Sustainability

Puerto Natales not only captivates with its landscapes, but it also inspires you to take care of them! Ecotourism plays the leading role here. You can sail in the Última Esperanza fjord, hike on trails in Torres del Paine with local guides or visit organic gardens that supply the city. A lot of the accommodation is ecological and uses renewable energy. Recycling, walking, and respecting the fauna are part of the trip. Come to explore Patagonia in a sustainable way and leave only prints in your heart!
