Dientes de Navarino

A lone hiker on the remote Dientes Circuit, surrounded by mountain peaks covered in snow in Chile

This trekking circuit offers impossibly raw and windswept vistas under Navarino’s toothy spires. Beginning at the Virgin altar just outside of town, the five-day, 53.5km route winds through a spectacular wilderness of exposed rock and secluded lakes. Fit hikers can knock it out in four days in the (relatively) dry summer months. Markings are minimal: GPS, used in conjunction with marked maps, is a handy navigational tool.

Winter hikes are only recommended for experienced mountaineers. The tourism office offers a useful brochure with detailed route information.
