Cabo de Hornos, Chilean commune in Antártica Chilena Province, Chile
Cabo de Hornos is a commune at the southern edge of South America in the Magallanes region, stretching across multiple islands and waterways. The territory consists of remote island land with Puerto Williams serving as its administrative center.
The area was established as an administrative district in 1927 and originally named after Navarino Island. This founding marked the beginning of organized governance for Chile's southernmost lands.
The people here live closely connected to the sea, with their daily routines shaped by naval work and fishing. You notice this maritime way of life reflected in the small harbors and how the community relies on the water.
The area is difficult to reach and usually requires travel by ship or plane. Visitors should prepare for harsh weather and limited facilities.
Cape Horn, located within this commune, is one of the world's most treacherous sailing routes with enormous waves and fierce currents. Rounding it is considered a significant achievement by sailors worldwide.
