How to get there
How to get there by air
To arrive, fly to Teniente Julio Gallardo Aerodrome (PNT) in Puerto Natales, located just 60 km away. Another option is Presidente Carlos Ibáñez del Campo International Airport (PUQ) in Punta Arenas, which receives more frequent flights. From Punta Arenas, the road trip is about three hours, crossing the immense Magellanic pampa under endless skies to the estancia.
How to get there by land
From Puerto Natales, take Route 9 north; it is 60 km of paved road, approximately a 45-minute trip. If you are coming from Torres del Paine National Park, you will be only 52 km away. Its strategic location, just 7 km from the Cancha Carrera border crossing, greatly facilitates access for overland travelers from El Calafate, Argentina.
Must-Know Tips
The Patagonian climate is unpredictable, so pack technical clothing in layers and a waterproof jacket. It is essential to book sheep shearing and horseback riding activities in advance due to their artisanal nature and limited availability. Don’t forget sunscreen and glasses, as the wind increases UV exposure.
