Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight booking directly with the regional operator as schedules are irregular and subject to weather changes.
  • Carry sufficient cash as ATMs are not available in this remote community.
  • Pack for variable Patagonian weather regardless of the season — wind and rain can arrive suddenly.
  • Coordinate ground transport before arrival as taxis and vehicles are scarce and not always on standby.
