Bandera Hill Hike

Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup at 9 am from your accommodations in Puerto Williams. From there, we will travel along a scenic trail that delves into the heart of Navarino Island. Get ready for an unforgettable experience!

Upon arrival at the trailhead, our 2-mile (3.5-kilometre) hike will commence through some of the most picturesque areas of Navarino Island. This enchanting Patagonian island, part of the Chilean sector of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, captivates every visitor. As we traverse the path, we’ll absorb the beauty of the world's southernmost forests.

During this memorable experience, we will ascend to the peak of Bandera Hill, standing at an impressive altitude of 2,132 feet (650 meters). Upon reaching the summit, breathtaking views of Puerto Williams will unfold before us. On a clear day, it's even possible to catch a glimpse of Ushuaia and other regions on the Argentine side of Tierra del Fuego across the Beagle Channel.

From the top of Bandera Hill, not only will we enjoy remarkable vistas but also the rugged beauty of the Dientes de Navarino, a striking range of mountain peaks tucked within the island. We’ll take a moment to soak in these remarkable landscapes while enjoying a light snack at the summit.

Once we’ve recharged, we will begin our descent back to the trail's start. This journey will conclude with a return trip to your hotel in Puerto Williams, where we plan to drop you off by 1 pm.
