## Getting ashore

Ships call at Puerto Natales, the gateway town for Patagonia's Torres del Paine. The port is near the town centre, and taxis wait at the pier.

## Watch-outs

Wind in Patagonia is very strong and can be cold even in summer. Bring layers, waterproofs and a hat. Cards are not accepted everywhere, so carry cash.

## The town

Puerto Natales is a small, colourful town on the Last Hope Sound. The waterfront and the local museum are the main places to visit.

## Torres del Paine

[Torres del Paine National Park](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Torres_del_Paine_National_Park) is about two hours away by road. The towers, glaciers and lakes are the main sights, and day tours go in from the town.

## Serrano Glacier and the fjords

Boat trips from the town visit the Serrano Glacier and the fjord channels, and the trips depend on the weather.

## Food & shopping

Patagonian food includes lamb, king crab and calafate berry desserts. Restaurants in the town are the easiest choice.

## Money & connectivity

The currency is the Chilean peso. Cash is needed. Mobile signal is limited outside the town.

## Accessibility & mobility

The town is flat, but the park trails are rough and steep. Boat trips involve gangways. Ask your operator for accessible vehicles.
