The best time to visit is between October and April, during the spring and summer season. In these months the weather conditions are more favorable for excursions, with milder temperatures and longer days. In winter, the weather can be very cold, with strong winds and snow.
Punta Arenas can be reached by plane from Santiago, Puerto Montt or other cities in Chile. From Punta Arenas, travelers can take a ferry or bus to Tierra del Fuego, depending on the tour. Some tour packages include transfers, such as bus rides to the entry points to Tierra del Fuego.
No trekking experience is necessary for most tours, although some excursions may include moderate or low-difficulty hikes. However, if you opt for a more challenging trek in Tierra del Fuego, such as the circuit in Alberto de Agostini National Park, it is advisable to be in good physical condition.
The weather in the region is extremely variable, so it is essential to wear layered clothing, including waterproof jackets, thermal pants, gloves, scarves, hats and hiking boots. Although the summer months tend to be warmer, wind and rain are common, so be prepared for all types of weather.
For a comfortable and complete visit, a 4 to 7 day tour is recommended. This allows you to explore both Punta Arenas and Tierra del Fuego with enough time to enjoy the main activities, such as visits to Magdalena Island, tours of Pali-Aike National Park, and excursions in Tierra del Fuego.
Yes, especially in high season (November to March), when the demand for tours is high. Many of the places of interest, such as the penguin islands or the excursions to Tierra del Fuego National Park, may have limited spaces, so it is advisable to book in advance to ensure availability.
First choose the date on the calendar on your right and tour options. Click on book and then fill in your personal and booking information. Once received we will process your reservation requesting payment by secure credit card and send you vouchers and final instructions.
Yes, Tierra del Fuego can be reached from Punta Arenas by road, crossing the Strait of Magellan by ferry (depending on the tour). The island is connected by a bridge to the mainland of Chile at some points, but not all tourist routes include road access, as some are done by boat.
