It is the largest national park with more than 3.525.000 hectares and protected wildlife area in Chile, and one of the largest in the world. It is mainly made up of canals, islands and extensive ice surfaces, shaping irregular topography and extreme weather conditions. Its glaciers stand out, all of great volume and density. Vestiges of the Kawésqar or Alacalufe ethnic culture can be found.
Administratively corresponds to the communes of Tortel and Puerto Natales. The unit stands out for the protection of wildlife species such as huemul, sea lions with one and two hairs. Among the birds are the imperial cormorant, condor, eagle and cahuil seagull. As regards flora, green trees always dominate, such as the Magellan coigüe, güaitecas cypress and canelo.
It is surrounded by the P.N. Laguna San Rafael, Los Glaciares (Argentina) and Torres del Paine NP, and the R.F. Alacalufes. Undoubtedly, one of its main attractions is the Pío XI glacier, which gives off blocks of ice of approximately 30 floors. The wall that forms is approximately 75 meters high and when falling forms waves of more than ten meters high.

discoverEven though Patagonia can be enjoyed in every season of the year, we recommend your visit between October and April, in the middle of spring in this hemisphere, more sunny days and less rain, therefore more activities to do.
Find the opportunity to visit uncommon places, such as Perito Moreno: one of the most spectacular glaciers of the world, almost a mandatory stop in Calafate. To save some money, the best thing is to buy a ticket for an urban bus service that takes you to Los Glaciares Park and buy there the entrance ticket. You’ll have access to the walkway area where there are amazing views of the glacier. The travel by boat is expensive and it is not worth it.
Before your trip, you must have in mind the clothing that you’re going to pack because Patagonia is very cold and extremely windy, warm clothes are fundamental.
Commerce in Puerto Natales does not deliver plastic bags, so we recommend you take space in your backpack or walk with ecological bags.
