10 tips for visiting Chilean Patagonia
If you are visiting Torres del Paine, in the heart of the Chilean Patagonia, it is likely that some of these tips can be useful to make your trip in this marvelous part of the world unforgettable. Of course, many of these tips can be used on different journeys and are not limited to traveling in the Torres del Paine, but these should always be taken into account. And not because they are obvious, means that they are less important, they may even be forgotten. Let’s start:
- Don’t forget that if you’re traveling by plane, the last stop is in Punta Arenas. From this city you’ll have to take a transfer or ask for bus services that take you to Torres del Paine. If you buy a tour package or will be staying at a hotel like Las Torres, it is probable that this is has already been taken care of. I’ll leave this link below, where you can get to know the different airlines, buses and ships. (http://www.torresdelpaine.com/secciones/06/a/directorio.asp)
- Before the trip, another aspect that you have to take into account is the clothes that you must take on the trip. The Patagonia is characterized for its low temperatures and strong winds, therefore warm clothing is a must.
For example: Waterproof jackets and pants, winter hats, shirts, thermal socks and gloves, wind jackets, trekking and resting shoes and boots, sun glasses, and sun block.
But you also have to leave room for the sun, so you have to include light pants, shirts and even light shoes for the sunny days.
- If you’re already in the area, and something goes wrong, don’t worry. You’re not left in the dark. First of all, the Hotel can give you all the help that you require and on the other hand 145 kilometers form the park is Puerto Natales, where you can find all the services required.
- But attention. Something that you have to keep in mind, commerce is opened all day, but with a lunch break between 1 and 3 pm. So plan your necessities in good form.
- ¿Want to use your credit cards? ¿Paying with Dollars? In general, commerce and hotels receive any type of credit cards, but it is essential to have some Chilean pesos for the little things like, small shops, entry fees or transport because in the National Park there are no cash machines.
- ¿Which is the best season to visit the Torres del Paine National Park? Although the park is opened year round, it is recommended to visit from October till April, coinciding with spring on this side of the hemisphere. The days are sunnier and there is less rainfall. Therefore more activities.
- The Torres del Paine National Park is administered by Conaf (Corporación Nacional Forestal). They are the ones who take care of park security and for sure they’ll give you all the necessary recommendations.
- One of the things that you cannot miss is walk until you can’t walk any more in this scenic wonderland. Or if you want you can take a horse back ride or even tour by car to see all the beautiful sites that the Chilean Patagonia has to offer. Do you like to fish? Fly fishing is another interesting alternative.
- A stroll through Puerto Natales and Punta Arenas, be it on your way in or finishing your trip, will be more than pleasant.
- Take care of the environment and respect nature. For example, Hotel Las Torres has a great ecological compromise on how to manage waste, energy and edibles. Follow this example and all instructions from guides and official personnel could give you…a great time in a unique part of the world.
