They want there:

The trek on the hard-to-reach island of Isla Navarino, the southernmost part of Patagonia, is wild and rugged. Cold weather determines the character of the landscape where you will move and frequent showers are no exception. As a reward, you can see many lakes, rivers, colorful mosses, lichens and dams that are the work of a beaver imported to the island for fur. If you choose a trek in the Dientes de Navarino you can go according to the schedule you get on the spot, five days or add a pace and handle it just fine in 3 days.

Tour Puerto Williams - Laguna del Salto

** Route1: ** From Puerto Williams head west and after about 1 km you will find the main sign for the start of the trek. You climb over the city to Cerro Bandero and have a full view of the Beagle Bay overlooking the Argentine mainland. The path continues across the mountains and in clear weather, offers clear views of Dientes and the lakes in the valley below. The descent to Laguna Salto is very steep and full of boulders.

Tour Laguna del Salto - Laguna Escondida

** Route2: ** From Salto Lagoon there is a narrow and steep footpath along the waterfall at Paso Australia. You will find yourself high above the forest line and in a quiet, mountainous terrain overlooking the first campsite. On the right you pass several low-lying lakes and descend from the saddle to the south, where the first views of the open sea open.

Laguna Escondida - Laguna Martillo

** Route 3: ** From Laguna Escondida, the road leads to the Paso Ventarrón saddle, the southernmost point of the trek. The view from the saddle of the many lakes is stunning, if you go even closer to the bay you can see Cape Horn with good visibility.

Laguna Martillo - Laguna los Guanacos

** Route4: ** There is quite a bit of water in this part and so the waterlogged meadows will test your equipment as well as the muddy ascent to Paso Virginia, the reward for this difficulty are the colorful meadows with lots of lichens.

Laguna los Guanacos - Puerto Williams

** Route5: ** This route is not long but it will take you a long time to travel through the fallen trees, partly caused by the work of beavers. Finding the latest brand is also not easy even if you serve as a starting point for an old crab factory. When you get to the road, hitchhike, there are few cars, but they stop and take you back to the city.
