Walk through the Magellanic forest just minutes from Punta Arenas, without the need for long trips. In the middle of the day you hike trails surrounded by lengas, coigües, and ñirres, with a local guide who explains the flora, fauna, and how life adapts to the Patagonian climate. From the viewpoints you will have panoramic views of the city and the Strait of Magellan.

It is an ideal excursion if you have little time, if it is your first day in Patagonia, or if you want to walk in nature without technical demands. We will pick you up at your accommodation and take you back, and we will lend you trekking poles and gaiters if the terrain requires it.

    Reserva nacional Magallanes

    It picks you up at your accommodation in Punta Arenas and in a few minutes we leave the city to go up to the hills of the Magallanes National Reserve, a protected area of Patagonian native forest. Along with a certified local guide, you will walk at a leisurely pace through trails surrounded by lengas, coigües, and ñirres, covered in mosses and lichens. On the way, you will learn to recognize the flora and fauna of southern Patagonia. Depending on the season, you can see native flowers such as small wild orchids and forest birds, such as the Magellanic woodpecker, whose observation is never guaranteed. It is a medium-low difficulty experience, lasting about 3 to 4 hours, ideal for those looking for authentic Patagonian nature without getting far from the city.
