About Puerto Natales

Puerto Natales, on the Last Hope Sound in Chilean Patagonia, is a small waterfront town and the base for Torres del Paine National Park.

Puerto Natales lies on the shore of Última Esperanza Sound, Last Hope in English, a long inlet of grey-green water with snowy peaks across it. The town is a grid of low, brightly roofed buildings with a waterfront promenade where black-necked swans often feed. Sheep farming, the sea and the mountains still shape its character.

Top-ranked sights in Puerto Natales: Nordenskjold Lake, Milodon Cave (Cueva del Milodon), Grey Glacier.
