Workation in Puerto Natales: the essentials
Hikers bound for Torres del Paine pass through Puerto Natales, a low, windswept port of around 20,000 at the opening of Última Esperanza Sound in Chilean Patagonia. Settled in the late 19th century by European immigrants, it is the only city in its province, with gear shops and guesthouses in tin-clad houses. The season runs roughly October to April, and in winter the town goes quiet and many businesses close. The Navimag ferry arrives from Puerto Montt. Punta Arenas is 247 km to the southeast, and Teniente Julio Gallardo Airport, about 6 km out, has seasonal flights from Santiago.
