Located south of the Strait of Magellan, the Chilean portion of the Great Island of Tierra del Fuego is a legendary land of untamed nature.

Its capital, Porvenir, is known for its historic mansions and its history tied to the gold rush and European immigration.

The main conservation landmark is King Penguin Park in Bahía Inútil, the only place in South America where a permanent colony of this species resides.

Further south, Karukinka Park safeguards pristine sub-Antarctic forests, peat bogs, and rivers ideal for fly fishing.

Tierra del Fuego also combines the mystical heritage of the Selk’nam people with landscapes of endless steppe, offering a remote and exclusive expedition experience for international travelers.Antártica

Practical Information

Tierra del Fuego has limited tourism infrastructure, with accommodation mainly consisting of lodges, estancias and small hotels. Gastronomy focuses on Patagonian products, particularly lamb and seafood. Services and supplies are limited outside the main towns, so advance planning is recommended for accommodation, transportation and excursions.
