Puerto Natales, Port city in Patagonia, Chile
Located on the shores of Seno Última Esperanza at 3 meters above sea level, Puerto Natales offers views of fjords and mountains in southern Patagonia.
The city emerged in 1911 as a port for the sheep industry, following European expeditions that started with Juan Ladrillero searching for Magellan Strait passages.
The Museo Histórico displays artifacts from Kawésqar and Aoniken peoples, including traditional canoes and Tehuelche hunting tools from early Patagonian settlements.
The Teniente Julio Gallardo Airport receives three weekly flights from Santiago, while numerous hotels and restaurants accommodate visitors throughout the year.
Local farms near Puerto Natales maintain small-scale production of vegetables and fruits despite the challenging weather conditions of southern Patagonia.
