Puerto Natales (Chilean Patagonia)

With a couple of days to spare (and rest our feet again 😉) we crossed the borther to Chile (hello again!) for Puerto Natales. It is the closest town to the Torres del Paine National Park and therefore a hotspot for hikers wanting to explore the park - which reflects in the prices (and Chile was not cheap outside Patagonia as well 🥲). The town itself is cute, low-built, located on the Golfo Amirante Montt and supersuper windy! We spent our days resting, hunting down the last bits of equipment needed for our 5-days camping experience, and gathering the food stock we’ll need - not so easy to decide what and how much food to bring, even though we were already equipped with enough freeze-dried meals bought (for less than half the price ☝🏼) in Buenos Aires 😅 But mostly, we were waiting rather impatiently for our adventure to begin, and in the end (and despite having the very best Cazuela soup ever🤤) our stay of 3.5 days in Puerto Natales was way too long and expensive 🤷🏻‍♀️ So if you ever plan to go to Torres del Paine, make your visit to Puerto Natales a short one!Okumaya devam et
