Punta Arenas & Tierra del Fuego Trips & Tours

Enthralling treks, heart-stopping vistas and a permeating sense of blissful isolation.
A historic and booming city, Punta Arenas is an oddity at the very tip of Chile's mainland. Sitting beside the Strait of Magellan, Punta Arenas gazes over frigid waters towards the islands beyond - and indeed, it's very easy to reach their shores for a good helping of hiking amidst sensational scenery. Speaking of which, the Tierra del Fuego archipelago is a wild and woolly playground complete with soaring peaks reaching over 7,000 feet, glaciers and mirror-smooth lakes. Take on some of the most challenging and epic treks on Earth, all the while keeping your eyes peeled for unique birdlife. Your travels may also lead you to colonies of Magellanic and King penguins or Navarino Island, where the chance to traverse the world's southernmost trekking route awaits along the island's 'teeth', the Dientes de Navarino.
Things to do

What to do in Punta Arenas

Punta Arenas sits on the very edge of the Strait of Magellan, making it an ideal springboard into the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. Pure, rugged Patagonian wilderness awaits, which you'll experience to the fullest on hikes amongst glaciers and Andean peaks. Along the way, look skywards for the island's beautiful birdlife and scan the landscape for muskrats, red foxes and comical guanaco. Or traverse the Beagle Channel, where whales spout from metres away and seabirds fill the air.
