Global Safari Alternatives
Explore the best safari-style wildlife destinations outside Africa
Puerto Natales is an ideal springboard into more adventurous pursuits including the incredible trails of Torres del Paine National Park, watching condors ride the thermal winds from Cerro Dorotea, and boat trips through the Chilean fjords, passing crackling glaciers and pockets of forest. The town is also a fantastic place to get your breath back with a boutique beer or visit the Museo Historico for a lesson on the history of Patagonia's original people.
It's hard to believe the scenery is real, from towering glaciers in every direction to near-untouched forests where shy wildlife dwells.
Let your inner paleontologist out to explore the mysterious Mylodon Cave, and learn about the giant sloth that inhabited this region over 10,000 years ago.
The wilderness that surrounds it is by far the biggest draw for a visit to Puerto Natales, but linger a little and get to know its history and people over a boutique beer.
