Patagonia
Trip Planning & Itineraries
Remote and rugged, Chile's southernmost region is one of the country's most historically and geographically fascinating. Región XII, considered the heart of Patagonia, takes in all of the country's territory beyond about 49° S, including the western half of the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego (whose eastern half is Argentine), the largely uninhabited islands of the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago, and the slice of Antarctica claimed by Chile.
Travelers come the distance to trek in Torres del Paine, to gaze at the glaciers or simply to say they've been to the 'end of the world.'
Penguin Sanctuary & Otway Sound
From USD $91.99
See Magellan Penguins close up at their nesting site. You must walk of 2 km (1.2 miles) across the coastal land to this sanctuary. It is possible to watch the penguins close up, courting and caring for their young, depending on the time of year.
Suggested Itineraries in Patagonia
From the barren plains of the north, to virgin lenga forests draped in 'old man's beard,' to glaciers descending nearly to the ocean, the island of Tierra del Fuego never ceases to enthrall those who come to explore its mystery.
To some, Puerto Montt a welcome change from the staid towns of the Lakes District, and it does have a spectacular setting - which can be appreciated when it's clear, anyway. Gateway to the southern lakes, Chiloé and Chilean Patagonia, Puerto Montt is the main transportation hub to virtually all directions.
From USD $43.00
Arrive at Frutillar to admire the colonial style houses and gardens. Visit the colonial museum which displays how the German colony here constructed their lives.
