We’ll start the trip by flying from Punta Arenas to the small town of Puerto Williams*. At the end of the day we will enjoy a nice meal and have a briefing about the next day’s trekking excursion. You can ask your guide about visiting the OMORA Ethnobotanical Park to experience “magnifying glass tourism,” a new venture that opens up the world of miniature lichens, moss and bryophyte forests.
Overnight at Errante Lodge
*Flights from Punta Arenas to Puerto Williams are not available on Sundays.
Let the adventure begin! Today we'll start the Dientes Circuit and take in amazing views of the Beagle Channel and Puerto Williams as we walk towards the Salto Lagoon. Depending on the weather conditions, we will either tackle the high-end slope of the Robalo Valley or move along the back of the valley. Either way, the landscape is unreal and we'll get to the night’s camping spot in time for a warm dinner.
Overnight Camping
On day two, we’ll cross the Dientes de Navarino Cordillera while enjoying the breathtaking views of Nassau Bay and Wollaston islands, both part of the fabled Cape Horn. After passing by several scenic lakes, we'll climb Ventarron path (696 mts) for an incredible view of the Dientes de Navarino mountain peaks and across to Mount Codrington. Get your cameras ready! We will then continue to enjoy the landscape while on the way to Laguna Martillo, our second camping site.
Overnight Camping
After a good night's rest, we'll grab our packs and continue to Guerrico Valley, walking through beautiful forests that reward us with amazing views of Montes Lindenmayer peak. We will then climb Virginia pass (860 mts high), taking in the incredible views across the sea of Tierra del Fuego. We will then reach the campsite in time to dine and rest.
Overnight Camping
Today is our last day of walking and it’s a downhill jaunt toward the ocean. We’ll reach Errante Lodge in time to enjoy a nice lunch and then have the rest of the day to rest, walk around the village and share stories about your experience trekking the southernmost circuit in the world. Dinner will be waiting for you at the lodge at the end of the day.
Overnight at Errante Lodge
After breakfast, it’s time to say “adiós” to Navarino Island! We’ll depart on a short flight out of Puerto Williams and return to Punta Arenas.
