Puerto Williams

Isla Navarino, Puerto Williams

Upon arriving from Punta Arenas to Puerto Williams, there opens up an urban possibility of complementing the wild nature locations on Navarino Island. Inhabited some 6,000 years ago by the aboriginal Yaghan people, the first European expeditions to this port date back to the year 1800. Although it vies with Ushuaia for being the last city at the end of the world, this location has access to unique natural destinations in the southernmost Patagonia, relieving the climatic rigor of winter and the beauty of the light against the snow and the sea.
