The Dientes de Navarino circuit is known worldwide as the southernmost trekking in the world, located precisely on the route to the end of the world, in Chilean Patagonia.
We invite you to travel with us the Dientes de Navarino Circuit, a place that not only impresses for its beauty but also for its tranquility, little traveled roads and not at all obvious, which make this route a constant discovery and an adventure that will undoubtedly exceed your expectations.
Our journey/adventure begins at the airport in the capital city of Santiago de Chile, and then we will embark to Punta Arenas. This will be our starting point to continue to our destination: Puerto Williams. We will embark again on what is an adventure in itself. Let’s see if we leave in the plane or in the plane! This is the part of the trip where there is no choice, you can take the regular plane of the DAP airline, with capacity for 19 people, or the Bae plane with greater capacity of the same airline. Once on the plane, we set off on our adventure to Puerto Williams! on Navarino Island. Once on the island, we will go to Hostal Akainij, a comfortable place with all the family warmth of its owners.
With this preamble we begin our circuit through the Dientes de Navarino, which, from the beginning, shows us a spectacular Patagonian landscape. In each camp we will be able to delight ourselves with a beautiful lagoon that will surprise us with its incomparable beauty, all of them different and all of them beautiful.
The first day of the itinerary we will ascend to the Cerro Bandera, and then continue our journey through the circuit. In our itinerary we also include the ascent to Cerro Bettinelli, a natural viewpoint with extraordinary views of Lake Windhond and the surrounding area. A must-see not to be missed.
During the whole route, you will be able to observe the whole palette of green colors, native forest (lengas, coihues, among others), endemic fauna, lagoons everywhere and much more. Here, you will be able to connect with nature and Patagonian beauty and feel the strength and energy of Patagonia. Throughout the circuit you will be able to observe the majestic Dientes de Navarino, each of them over a thousand meters high.
Our itinerary is designed to give you an integral experience of the area. We go beyond the circuit and get involved and interact with the locals, their history and gastronomy. We will visit different restaurants to learn about and enjoy the local gastronomy and learn about the history that has marked Puerto Williams. The visit to the Martin Gusinde Anthropological Museum will take us back to the time of the great adventurers who traveled the Beagle Channel and visited the place. Also, in downtown Puerto Williams, we can visit the bow of the Yelcho, the Chilean vessel that rescued the Antarctic expedition of the Irishman Ernest Shackleton. Another place not to be missed is the Ukika Village, a locality considered a historical attraction, since it is inhabited by the last descendants of the Yagán people. In this place is Kipa Akar, a Yagán handicraft workshop where the works in reed and native wood stand out.
This is only a part of our great journey and adventure.
