Can I book this private hiking tour as a shore excursion in Punta Arenas?
We do not recommend booking this hike in Patagonia as a shore excursion due to its distance from the city. We recommend choosing a hike in Punta Arenas closer to the port, such as one of our Patagonian Forest Hikes.
Do I need previous experience to come on this hike?
Previous hiking experience is not required for this beginner-friendly hiking tour in Punta Arenas. This hike takes place over 8 km (5 miles) of rocky beach, and has an elevation gain over the course of the trail of 320 metres (1050 feet). Your hike will take between 6 and 7 hours to complete, depending on trail conditions, client fitness, and interpretive moments. We recommend getting ready for your hike in Punta Arenas with brisk walks of at least one and a half hours (preferably 2 to 4 hours), stair climbs, and rambles through uneven terrain (such as in a grassy park). Being physically prepared will enhance your enjoyment and safety on the trail. On the day of your hike, your guide will offer you an alternative service if they do not feel that this hike is suitable for you.
