Introduction
Puerto Natales is a port town in southern Patagonia, Chile, on the shore of its namesake fjord and the gateway and supply base for Torres del Paine National Park and the glacial front. Cradled by rugged mountains and sapphire waterways, its brightly coloured houses line the bay, and the waterfront promenade frames distant Andean snow peaks; as a hub for trekkers (the 'W' circuit) and drivers, it brims with restaurants, hostels and outfitters. Cruises from the pier push into the fjords in search of dolphins and glaciers, making it both the start of adventure and a gentle harbour to return to.
