Your journey begins with a flight from Punta Arenas to Puerto Williams, a remote town on Navarino Island. After arriving, you will settle in at Errante Lodge and enjoy time to take in the atmosphere of one of the southernmost towns in the world. In the evening, you will share dinner and receive a briefing for the trekking days ahead. You may also ask your guide about visiting OMORA Ethnobotanical Park.
Overnight at Errante Lodge.
The Dientes Circuit begins with a walk toward Laguna del Salto, surrounded by views of the Beagle Channel and Puerto Williams. Depending on weather and trail conditions, the route may follow the upper slopes of Róbalo Valley or continue along the back of the valley. Either way, the landscape quickly reveals the wild beauty of Navarino Island before you arrive at camp for a warm dinner and your first night outdoors.
Overnight Camping.
Today you will cross the Dientes de Navarino mountain range, passing lakes and open landscapes with views toward Nassau Bay and the Wollaston Islands, part of the legendary Cape Horn area. The route climbs toward Ventarrón Pass, where the jagged Dientes peaks and Mount Codrington appear across the horizon. After taking in the views, continue through the remote terrain toward Laguna Martillo, your second campsite.
Overnight Camping.
After breakfast at camp, continue toward Guerrico Valley, walking through forests and open terrain with views of the Lindenmayer peaks. The day’s main challenge is the climb to Virginia Pass, the highest point of the trek, where sweeping views open across the sea and Tierra del Fuego. From there, the route continues toward the next campsite, where you can rest, share dinner, and prepare for the final trekking day.
Overnight Camping.
Your final trekking day follows a downhill route toward the ocean, leaving the wild interior of Navarino Island behind. As the trail descends, the landscape gradually opens toward Puerto Williams and the Beagle Channel. You will reach Errante Lodge in time for lunch, with the afternoon free to rest, walk around the village, and share stories from the southernmost circuit in the world before dinner at the lodge.
Overnight at Errante Lodge.
