To get here, the port of entry for international air travelers is Chile’s
capital city of Santiago. Located about half way down this long, thin
country, it takes a bit over 3 hours to fly further south with LAN Chile to
the Patagonian gateway city of Punta Arenas. We chose to split up the
5-hour drive to the park with an overnight stay at the five star Singular
Hotel in Puerto Natales and complete the drive to Torres del Paine the
next morning. Tierra Patagonia is open in the spring and summer months
of the southern hemisphere from September through April each year.
