Puerto Natales Ranches - Reviews and Rates

The bus ride to Puerto Natales was relatively uneventful. We have grown accustomed to the Patagonian scenery, open barren fields, with occasional mountains popping up here and there. We arrived in town, and after some orientation problems found Casa Teresa, and checked into a small room on the second story of her house. We arranged to rent some ...

The Navimag rolled into the lovely little town of Puerto Natales...our base for further adventure into the now very popular Torres del Paine National Park - Torres del Paine, I have been told meaning blue towers....Paine, an inca word for blue, of which the 2 hallmark rocks representing giant towers magestically shine, rising prominently northwa...

Puerto Natales careix del ritme de Buenos Aires, li manca l'olor marí de Puerto Madryn, no té, en cap cas, l'essencia de "far west" que desprenen els pobles de la Patagonia Argentina. És un lloc tranquil, ni gran ni petit, de cases multicolors de una sola planta. Situada a la vora d'un fiord, la ciutat viu del turisme excursionista que s'adentra...

We made it back to civilisation (well Peurto Natales) alive and well after 4 days and 55kms trekked. Lola didn't strangle me in the night for making her carry a 20kg pack and sleep in a tent, so there must be something very special about the scenery! We completed our own, slightly truncated, version of the "W" but still felt a real sense of achi...

We set off from Rio Gallegos bus terminal only to turn back 5 minutes later as we had gearbox trouble. The bus mechanics banged away under the bus in the garage while the driver crunched away at the gearstick. Once we had all been suitably gassed by the monoxide we set off again. The driver was still not happy and turned back once more. They rep...

So, Kat and I are now just killing some time until we board the Navimag ferry at 9pm. The weather today has been much, much worse, and apparently much more typical for this time of year. We said goodbye to Norma and Bernita and, leaving our packs with them, set off to hire a couple of bikes with a plan to cycle up to Puerto Borias. It´s about 6k...

Tras el improvisado cambio de planes del día anterior, hoy era el día indicado para el "ataque" a las Torres del Paine, que dan nombre a este parque nacional chileno. Sabíamos que iba a ser duro y nos habíamos mentalizado para llegar hasta donde pudiéramos, pero en el fondo ambos teníamos la ilusión de subir hasta el mirador que te deja justo en...

After four buses and 28 hours later we arrived in Puerto Natales from Puerto Madryn. If you have a map we went first to Comodoro Rivadavia where we discovered that the muppet who issued our ticket in BA had stuffed them up and booked the 2nd leg of our journey for 24 hours later. So instead of getting back on the same bus and carrying on our way...

Alex: After our brief stop in Punta Arenas we headed to Puerto Natales to hit the Torres del Paine. We had been unsure when we were planning our trip whether to come here or not, we had heard that the park is incredible but the only thing we had heard about was the fantastic multi-day treks you can do, which, to be honest, we are too lazy to do!...

We escaped Punta Arenas following a visit on our last night to the last cinema in town - the other two having closed down as Chileans seem to have gone off the cinema for some reason. Apparently the third one is due to close too. It only opened 13 years ago and is very flash, more like a presentation suite than a cinema. There were only 8 of us ...
