After enjoying a hearty breakfast at the eco-lodge, we will transfer to the Róbalo River water intake, where we will begin our circuit around 9:30 a.m. The trek starts by crossing a lush forest, ascending to 600 meters (1,969 ft) above sea level, reaching a summit crowned by a large Chilean flag.

From there, an impressive panoramic view unfolds of Puerto Williams and the Beagle Channel, which separates the main island of Tierra del Fuego from the southern islands. We will continue along the forest edge, following the Róbalo River valley until we reach Laguna del Salto, where we will set up our camp around 7:00 p.m., surrounded by the tranquility and untamed beauty of the southern landscape.

After a hearty breakfast and breaking camp, we will begin our trek around 9:00 a.m. Today’s route takes us through several mountain passes of the circuit, starting with Paso Primero (705 m / 2,313 ft), a small rocky pass where the permanent snow welcomes us to the high valley. We will walk among streams, rocks, and lagoons, pausing to admire the beauty of these waters framed by the towering peaks of the Dientes de Navarino.

The next milestone is Paso Australia, the highest point of the day at 776 m / 2,546 ft, offering views of the southern part of Navarino Island and, to the north, the Wollaston Islands in the Cape Horn archipelago.

We will continue to Paso Los Dientes, with spectacular views of the island’s highest peak, Picacho Diente (1,118 m / 3,668 ft). Depending on the route, weather, and group pace, there is the option to include an additional trek to Monte Betinelli, adding an extra challenge for the most adventurous.

Finally, we will reach the camping area near the Lagunas de los Dientes or Laguna Escondida, where we will set up camp around 7:00 p.m.

After a hearty breakfast and breaking camp, we begin our hike around 9:00 a.m. The trail takes us through a fairytale landscape, with native shrub and ñirre forests, crystal-clear lagoons, and the Dientes de Navarino massif as a dramatic backdrop.

We will ascend to Paso Ventarrón (696 m / 2,195 ft), a windy pass that allows us to look through its natural “window” and admire the untouched side of Navarino Island: wild, still-unexplored mountains stretching beyond the Dientes de Navarino. We will continue to Paso Guerrico, approaching the beautiful Valle Guerrico, enjoying the southern flora and rugged landscapes that define this remote region.

We will have lunch before continuing to a suitable camping area near Laguna Martillo or Laguna Zeta, where we will set up camp around 7:00 p.m., surrounded by the tranquility and majesty of this extreme landscape.

We will wake up at 8:00 a.m. for breakfast and to break camp, preparing to start our trek at 9:00 a.m. The day begins with an exciting ascent to Paso Virginia, the highest point of the circuit at 844 m / 2,766 ft. From the summit, an impressive view of the Beagle Channel and the mystical Tierra del Fuego awaits us—a moment that captures the grandeur of the far south of the world.

We will begin the descent around the beautiful Laguna Guanaco, then follow the trail into the forest, where we will have lunch and rest before continuing. Our path continues descending toward Mac Lean Fishing Lodge, an old abandoned outpost located less than 2 km from the eco-lodge, a silent witness to the island’s history.

Finally, we will arrive at the lodge around 6:00 p.m., where we can rest and enjoy a well-deserved farewell dinner, celebrating the adventure and the extraordinary landscapes gifted to us by this southern circuit.

Enjoy a well-deserved breakfast and celebrate: you’ve completed the challenging Dientes de Navarino circuit! After check-out, you will be transferred to the airport for your return flight to Punta Arenas.
