Puerto Natales Travel Guide
Chile
Puerto Natales is a small city of around 20,000 people in Chilean Patagonia, in the far south of the country. Its remote location makes it a practical base for exploring the surrounding southern landscapes.
Most air travellers arrive via Teniente J. Gallardo Airport, also known by its code PNT. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Puerto Natales, so beach trips are not a central part of a stay here.
