Immerse yourself in nature on a full-day hike in Punta Arenas and discover the stories of people who, against all odds, have thrived in Patagonia’s indomitable wilderness for over 11,000 years.
Experience the immensity of Patagonia’s untouched wilderness as you hike on a little trafficked trail through the quiet hush of a 100-year-old forest.
This hike in Punta Arenas will take you through winding trails abundant with plant life, up windswept hills, and down into the river valley that runs through the city.
Crest gentle ridges and navigate pebbled plateaus with incredible 360-degree views of the sculpted geography of the Brunswick Peninsula. Learn how the landscape has, in turn, shaped life in Patagonia.
Picnic with a lunch of fresh local flavours in the heart of the forest, enjoying views of towering green trees with moss-decorated branches. Afterwards, see how subtle changes in the landscape change the forest.
After your hike, enjoy local tapas and a toast with your guide.

A lovely day! Book it!

5.00It was a lovely hike up the hill on the outskirts of Punta Arenas. Not too difficult but great vistas and about 6 miles in total. Manuel sets whatever pace you need and stops whenever needed. Bring a windbreaker for sure as it can be howling at the vistas. We covered all sorts of topics from the flora and fauna, the history of the area as well as Chile in general. No topic was unanswered no matter how diverse the question. We ended the hike with a lovely lunch in a restaurant near the port that I'm not sure we would have found without Manuel. Lovely day! Book it now!
Awesome hike

5.00Wonderful day, hiking a 6 mile loop in the beautiful Patagonian Forest. Our hike took us to a higher elevation where we could view the bay and see where our cruise liner was anchored. Manuel, a native of Punta Arenas, was a personable and friendly guide, knowledgeable about the history, botany and fauna of the area. We had a delightful time chatting as we hiked and met his lovely wife, Jamie, and thoroughly enjoyed the Chilean goodies on a break. The day was topped off with a glass of wine and delicious appetizers in an artistically decorated restaurant in town. Thank you Manuel and Jamie for a memorable day in Punta Arenas, Chile.
Fantastic experience

5.00Jamie Pratt, tour guide & director of Borealis Adventures, picked my husband and me up at our hotel in Punta Arenas as scheduled. Communication before the trip was excellent. The walk was at our pace and she supplied walking poles which made it very enjoyable and safe. The Lenga trees were tall and green this time of year. Jamie is a very knowledgeable guide and identified several birds, mushrooms and plants that we saw along our walk. Lunch was delicious avocado, tomato and cheese sandwiches with papaya juice. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk and her guidance through the Patagonian forest. We highly recommend this company and activity.
