from Santiago every day. From Punta Arenas it is necessary to take either
a public bus transfer (quite cheap) from the airport or from the centre
of Punta Arenas city. Alternatively you can opt for a private transfer
to either Puerto Natales and overnight there or go directly to Torres
el Paine. The road trip from Punta Arenas takes about 3 hours to Puerto
Natales and another 3 hours to Torres del Paine.
Weather
The weather is changeable in the Park. One moment it might be nice and
sunny and the next it might be windy and rainy. You should take a waterproof,
sweater and out door clothing.
Accommodation
Most of the hosterias offer good, comfortable accommodation but for outright
luxury you would have to select the Explora hotel which offers an all-inclusive
program.
We Suggest

the area. |
