The only town on the Chilean side of Tierra del Fuego is Porvenir, but the best places to stay are hours south of town.

My first time in Porvenir I stayed at Shinka Hospedaje. I loved it so much I’ve stayed there on two subsequent trips. Check out my blog about Porvenir for info on Shinka Hospedaje. Lodging south of Porvenir is limited, so if you aren’t prepared to camp, make plans well in advance for these fantastic places.
