Punta Arenas	Punta Arenas, Torres Del Piane, Lake District Posted: Fri March 11, 2005 07:07 PM UTC Can someone please suggest the best itinerary based from Puerto Montt (I'll be flying into Puerto Montt from Santiago) and involving any combination of day trips (boat, car, bus) to puerto varas, osorno, petrohue, chiloe, puella through the lagos (I can't go to Bariloche, because I don't have an argentine visa; unless I can get an argentine visa at the border). I have around 3-4 days to spend around Puerto Montt, after which I want to fly to Punta Arenas (don't want to risk taking the Navimag, because it looks like the weather is dicy) and visit the Torres Del Paine for another 4-5 days (Is it possible to include trips to the bernardo and serrano, and the isla magalleno?). I'll be flying back to Santiago from Punta Arenas. I can rent a car or so, can spend around $3000 for 2 people excluding flights (the lesser the better :) Thanks very much for your help.

trips (boat, car, bus) to puerto varas, osorno,
petrohue, chiloe, puella through the lagos (I can't go to Bariloche,

the border).

I have around 3-4 days to spend around Puerto Montt, after which I
want to fly to Punta Arenas (don't want to risk taking the Navimag,
because it looks like the weather is dicy) and visit the Torres Del
Paine for another 4-5 days (Is it possible to include trips to the bernardo and
serrano, and the isla magalleno?). I'll be flying back to Santiago
from Punta Arenas. I can rent a car or so, can spend around $3000 for 2 people excluding flights (the lesser the better :)

I guess it all depends on your budget, and how much you want to carry with you into the park. The water from the tap, or out of any of the rivers is the cleanest you will ever have, so there is no urgent need to carry water with you. The food is pretty good, but a bit pricy. I would bring a few snacks (they are expensive in the park) and stuff to prepare your own sandwiches, if you don't want to pay for the box lunch (which by the way is good, and very complete).

I would definetely go for four days, it's absolutely amazing there!
Enjoy
