    Nice
    A real good and windy opportunity to see these creatures in nature without a controlled way without interaction

    Important to know the history of the region.
    Plaza Selk'nam would not be top of most peoples list or quite frankly unheard of when visiting this part of the world.
    Though a short walk through the plaza helped understand about the original inhabitants of the area and why they are no more. Without getting very political, I encourage you to visit this place as well as the museum in Porvenir to understand the past (as there isn't alot of information on the internet unless you specifically search for it). It's fascinating and deserves your time.

    Informative museum with great pictures
    This is a small museum detailing a few artefacts of the Selk'nam tribe as well as excellent black and white pictures of this tribe before being exterminated. They were certainly the tribe with the visually most impressive culture. The museum also details the history of Provenir, the small and only town on the Chilean side of the island. Information is given over the Croatian immigrants, the largest group, as well as the many people from Chiloe island that came here to work in the sheep processing industry. We visited the museum as part of a day long tour of the island, and had a guide detailing the artefacts.

    Really nice and beautiful
    If you are near Tierra del Fuego you should definitely go in this area. I’m sure it’s one of the most beautiful places in Patagonia. And there are so few tourists, your nearly alone.

    Abandoned machinery from the beginnings of the 20th Century
    The Draga Aurifera, a huge steam driven conveyer belt machine, is an official national monument, dating back to the gold rush in Tierra del Fuego around 1905. It is covered with rust but very well conserved.

    There is also a story to it: a longtime resident of Tierra del Fuego told us that at the beginnings of the 20th Century a guy dropped some tiny bits of gold at that spot to attract investors who subsequently invested in bringing the machinery over from England (must have taken them forever in those days). According to what locals know, the machine was never used as there was no gold there. A scam.

    The NATIVO EXPEDICIÓNES crew took care of us! If you’re looking for an experience boating in fjords, seeing fauna and glaciers, and enjoying Tierra fell Fuego’s natural beauty, this is the company for you! The crew really knows the area and treats you well. It’s a more remote spot than other places in Chile that is just as beautiful - so the experience feels more intimate with less tourists. 100% recommended!

    King Penguins!!
    Francisco organised a visit to the King Penguins on Tierra del Fuego for us. We organised our own ferry tickets from Punta Arenas and met Francisco at his warm cafe next to the ferry terminal on Tierra deal Fuego. Very friendly with coffee before we set off and a brief couple of stops on the way. Francisco's English is a little limited but he made up for that with enthusiasm. Overall a more cost and time effective way to see the Penguins than organised tours from Punta Arenas - it's still a long day but totally worth it to see such beautiful creatures. Note that the ferry timing means that Sunday is the only day these arrangements work unless you stay the night in Porvenir.
