Before we kick off our mtb tour in Patagonia, you should take a day or two to adjust to local time and recover from your travels, and allow for any flight or luggage delays. You should fly into Punta Arenas airport (PUQ).

In Chile, domestic flights are operated by 3 local airline companies: Latam, Sky Airline and JetSmart.

We recommend staying at Hotel Diego de Almagro Punta Arenas in the city, which is well-located with lots of restaurants and other facilities just a short walk away.
