Free Day in Puerto Natales
Puerto Natales, Chile
About This Activity
Puerto Natales is the gateway to Torres del Paine — use this free day to rest tired legs, explore the small town's craft shops and gear stores, or enjoy a traditional slow-roasted Patagonian lamb (cordero al palo) at a local restaurant. For an easy excursion, the Cueva del Milodón natural monument (a giant prehistoric cave 25 km north) makes a rewarding half-day drive, and guided kayak trips on the Última Esperanza fjord offer unforgettable glacier views.
Seasonal note: Best Oct-Mar
