Top Nature Spots in Magallanes Region

If you're using public transport from Puerto Natales, book your bus tickets in advance. The buses can fill up quickly, especially during peak season—learned that the hard way!

Pack lunch and snacks instead of relying on park services. Food inside the park is pricey, and having your own keeps you fueled on the go without breaking the bank.

start your hikes early, around 7 am. the trails are less crowded, and you can enjoy the sunrise over the mountains—totally breathtaking! i wish i’d gotten moving sooner.

Take time to explore the visitor center first. It has awesome maps, info on trails, and lot of tips from rangers. I skipped this and missed some cool hidden spots.

Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes! The trails can get a bit slippery and I regretted my choice of sandals. A bit of grip goes a long way.

I recommend arriving at right when the gates open at 9 AM. It was super quiet and we had the cave almost to ourselves for the first hour, which made the experience way more enjoyable.

My advice is to pack a snack and some water. There are lovely picnic spots around the park and you might want to take your time enjoying the view instead of rushing out for a meal.

My advice is to wear good hiking shoes. The trail can get slippery, and I really regretted wearing my old trainers – they didn’t grip well at all!

I think you should bring a light jacket even in summer. The weather can change quickly and I was caught off guard by a chill while enjoying the view!

I recommend visiting around 3 PM for the best light for photos. The sun hits the waterfall just right, making it look absolutely breathtaking.

I suggest packing some snacks and water! There are no facilities near the waterfall, and you’ll want to keep your energy up while enjoying the stunning scenery.

I suggest getting there by bus. It’s way cheaper than taxis and way parking can be tricky, plus buses run pretty frequently.

My advice is to check the weather before you go. I went on a cloudy day and missed out on some killer photo ops. Sunny mornings are the best!

I think you should visit during the week if you can. I went on a Saturday, and it felt super crowded. It’s way more enjoyable when it’s chill!
