This tour might start from the airport or the city of Punta Arenas. After a short drive around the city we go for the Cross hill lookout to have an introduction of the magnificent landscape where Punta Arenas, the Strait of Magellan and the Island of Tierra del Fuego will be part of.

We drive down to enjoy a short walk along the water front prominade to watch some species of seabirds like Rock Cormorants, the Olivaceous Cormorant and the Imperial in different posts part of what was once a quite busy pier with hundred of people disembarking from long journeys of many different countries in the world. We might also find some other interesting species such as the Two banded plovers, Skuas, Dolphin gulls. We walk a bit to get closer to the sign of Punta Arenas and the waters of the Strait of Magellan and ready to go to Puerto Natales.

This is an option to make a technical stop to go birding or just to stretch our legs a bit. This is where the lecture of how this landscape was formed by glaciers and paleo lakes in Patagonia has a lot to do with all the different sceneries to be seen along the way to Puerto Natales and Torres del Paine.

Puerto Natales is a great experience spot for travelers from all over the world. We go for the Black necked swans and Chiloe Wigeons at the sea shores of Ultima Esperanza with beautiful mountains and great chances to take wonderful photographs.
