Tierra Patagonia Hotel and Spa

Five Star Alliance features all of the best luxury hotels and resorts in Puerto Natales, Chilean Patagonia. Puerto Natales is the capital of both the commune of Natales and the province of Ultima Esperanza, one of the four provinces that make up the Magallanes and Antartica Chilena Region in the southernmost part of Chile. It is the final passenger port of call for the Navimag ferry sailing from Puerto Montt into the Senoret Channel as well as the primary transit point for travelers to Torres del Paine National Park, Chile. Twenty four kilometers (15 mi) northwest of Puerto Natales, along the flanks of the Cerro Benitez Mountains, lies the Cueva del Milodon Natural Monument. A museum in nearby Punta Arenas. The Nao Victoria was one of the five ships (and the only one that survived) that sailed in the Spanish Armada de Molucca expedition which discovered the meeting point the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. A realistic, technically and historically accurate replica of the ship commemorates the expedition and allows visitors to experience the historic voyage. Companies offering boat trips through the Patagonian fjords depart from Puerto Natales Pier and take tourists to view the region's many icebergs.
