Puerto Williams Travel Guide
Chile
Puerto Williams is a small settlement in southern Chile, on the Beagle Channel at the country’s far southern edge. Its remote location makes it a useful base for exploring the waterways and landscapes of the southern Tierra del Fuego region.
Travellers arriving by air use Guardiamarina Zanartu Airport (WPU). There are no named, notable beaches within 40 kilometres of Puerto Williams, so the nearby coastline is better understood as a rugged southern coastal setting rather than a beach destination.

Tipping: Tipping is customary in Chile for good service. While not legally required, it is widely practiced, especially in the service industry. Bills in restaurants may already include "propina", but it is optional and can be adjusted.
