Puerto Natales is the windswept launch pad for Torres del Paine, one of the planet's great national parks. This small Patagonian port sits on a fjord ringed by snow-dusted peaks, its waterfront dotted with trekking outfitters, cozy cafes and craft breweries. Fuel up on lamb and pisco sours before heading into a landscape of granite towers, turquoise lakes and roaming guanacos. Whether you tackle the multi-day W trek or just take a boat to a glacier, adventure is the whole point!
When to go
Seasons are reversed from Canada. The main trekking window is the southern summer, November to March, with the longest daylight and the most reliable access, though wind is fierce year-round and weather can flip in minutes. December to February is peak season, so book refugios and buses well ahead. Shoulder months, October and April, are quieter and cheaper but colder, with some services closed. Winter is very limited. Always pack for four seasons in one day.
Getting there from Montreal
This is a remote corner of Patagonia and takes real effort. From YQB or YUL you'll connect through a US hub to Santiago, Chile. From Santiago, fly south to Puerto Natales (PNT) seasonally, or year-round to Punta Arenas (PUQ) and take a three-hour bus north to Puerto Natales. Some travellers cross from El Calafate, Argentina by bus instead. Expect two or three flights plus ground transport, so build in an overnight in Santiago.
What to see and do
- The W trek among the granite Torres del Paine towers
- Boat trips to Grey Glacier on the fjord
- Guanaco herds and condors across the steppe
- Fresh Patagonian lamb and local craft beer in town
Good to know before you go
Getting around centres on buses and transfers: frequent coaches run from town to Torres del Paine (about two hours) and to Punta Arenas, and park shuttles and catamarans connect trailheads inside. The town itself is small and easily walked, with taxis for luggage or early starts. Chile uses the peso (CLP); cards are common, but carry cash for park fees, buses and small shops. Spanish is the language. Tap water is generally safe. Above all, pack serious layers and windproof gear, book park entry and refugios in advance, and respect Leave No Trace rules.
