Hike in the Footsteps of Darwin
Head South to where the mountains rise out of the ocean to hike to the top of Mount Tarn in the Patagonian Andes.
Located just 45 minutes South of Punta Arenas' Downtown core, this little-trafficked hiking trail will take you 14 km (8.7 mi) from a pebbled sea-level beach up 825 metres (2707ft) to the peak.
Taste the salty air of the strait as you climb through the verdant green forests that cover the base of Mount Tarn, contrasting with the blue of the Strait of Magellan.
As you hike, walk in the footsteps of naturalist Charles Darwin, and learn about how his time in Patagonia contributed to his great legacy, On the Origin of Species.
Near the summit, experience the swirling winds and dry mountain air of the High Andean desert as you hike surrounded by breathtaking views of Isla Dawson, the Darwin Mountain Range, and the unexplored valleys and peaks of the Brunswick Peninsula.
Enjoy snacks and a boxed lunch of fresh, local ingredients on the trail.
After your hike, stop off at a historical ranch house for a meal of traditional Patagonian flavours served by a family of local legends.
