Overview

The Dientes Circuit on Navarino Island is one of the world’s southernmost trekking adventures - a remote and physically demanding circuit that few have completed. Spanning 42 kilometres (26 miles) over four days, the trail crosses the jagged Dientes de Navarino massif at the far edge of South America, offering a rare opportunity to explore one of Patagonia’s last true wilderness regions.

This rugged route follows uneven terrain across alpine valleys, lenga forests, peat bogs, and glacial lakes, reaching a high point of approximately 900 metres (2,950 feet). From the top, panoramic views open across the Beagle Channel, the towns of Puerto Williams and Ushuaia, and the distant, mythic archipelago of Cape Horn. With rapidly changing weather and minimal infrastructure, the route remains one of the most remote circuits on the continent.

This trekking adventure is designed for experienced and self-reliant hikers who are confident carrying a full pack of up to 15kg, and who are comfortable navigating in unpredictable and exposed conditions. The full circuit is weather dependent and may not always be possible - but whether completed in its entirety or adapted for conditions, this is a rare opportunity to immerse in Patagonia’s raw, untouched far south.

With 50 years of experience operating wilderness treks in remote environments, our team ensures the challenge is matched by expert support, safety, and deep regional knowledge. For those seeking a remote route with minimal crowds and maximum impact, the Dientes Circuit is Patagonia at its wildest.

Itinerary

Expand all | Collapse all

We’ll start the trip by flying from Punta Arenas to the small town of Puerto Williams*. At the end of the day we will enjoy a nice meal and have a briefing about the next day’s trekking excursion. You can ask your guide about visiting the OMORA Ethnobotanical Park to experience “magnifying glass tourism,” a new venture that opens up the world of miniature lichens, moss and bryophyte forests. Overnight: Errante Lodge or similar * You will need to make your own way to the airport in Punta Arenas on Day 1 of the trip, flights usually depart around 10am so a pre-night accommodation is highly recommended. Please Note: This trip can start or end in Ushuaia instead of Punta Arenas for an additional cost. From Ushuaia: After the immigration process and port tax payment at Ushuaia's port in Argentina, you will take a boat across the Beagle Channel to Navarino Island. The navigation on board a semi-rigid vessel takes approximately 30 minutes. Upon arrival at Puerto Navarino you will be picked up by car and transferred to Errante Lodge in Puerto Williams (approx 54km, 1:40 hr drive).

Meals: L,D

Today our trekking adventure starts! After breakfast we transfer to the trail head and commence the Dientes Circuit. We trek through the Robalo Valley to Salto Lagoon and admire amazing views of the Beagle Channel and Puerto Williams along the way. Here at the lagoon we will set up our first camp. Depending on weather conditions, your guide will decide which of the two possible paths to take: the high end slope of the Robalo valley or the path from the back of the valley. Either way, the landscape will amaze you and you will get to the campsite in time for a warm dinner. 1) From the high end of the eastern slope of the Robalo Valley: from the trailhead (100m), climb up for 90 minutes to reach Cerro Bandera (590m), where you will enjoy a beautiful panoramic view over Puerto Williams and the Beagle Channel. Then, continue for about 2 to 3 hours along Robalo Valley and above the tree line. At the end of the trail descent for about half an hour to finally reach Lake del Salto (490m), where our first campsite will be set up. 2) From the back of the Robalo Valley: we ascent from the valley floor and hike most of the time through the forest. The Dientes de Navarino massif will come into sight. Several lagoons, lakes and beaver dams can be observed along the way. We will reach our camp on the shore of Lake del Salto in the afternoon. Overnight: Camping. Distance: 6km

Meals: B,L,D

Today, we cross the Dientes de Navarino Cordillera, while enjoying breathtaking views of Nassau Bay and Wollaston islands, both part of Cape Horn. Within two hours of walking, we will conquer three consecutive ascents (716m, 800m and 765m) and we reach the second highest point on the trek. After passing several lakes, we climb up to Paso Ventarrón (696m), from where we can enjoy incredible views of the Dientes de Navarino massif and Codrington Mountains. The rest of today’s hike is much easier and descents towards Guerrico Pass and then on to Lake Martillo, the second campsite on our trek. Overnight: Camping. Distance: 17.5km

Meals: B,L,D

After breakfast, we continue our trek to the Guerrico Valley, by walking through beautiful forests and experiencing amazing views of Montes Lindenmayer, named in 2001 by the Chilean Ministry of Natural Resources for the author of the Lonely Planet guide. We then climb to Virginia pass (90 minutes, 860m height), the highest point of our trek. The views from here are incredible and you will have time to enjoy the mountains and sea of Tierra del Fuego. After a well-deserved break, we descend for about 90 minutes before we reach the well protected campsite in the forest, on the shore of Lake Las Guanacos. Overnight: Camping. Distance: 9km

Meals: B,L,D

Today is the last day of our hike and we soon have to say goodbye to this amazing and remote trekking experience. Before we reach Puerto Williams in the afternoon, we have time to take in more incredible views while descending for 9km back to sea level. At the end of the trek a vehicle awaits us, and we will be transferred to Errante Lodge, where you will be welcomed with a cocktail to celebrate the completion of the southernmost hike in the world! Then, we will enjoy a nice lunch together. You have time to rest in the afternoon before we head out again to visit the interesting Martín Gusinde Anthropological Museum in Puerto Williams. It’s the southernmost museum in the world and hosts artefacts, maps and photos related to the 10,000-year history of the Yahgan people and European settlers since the 19th century. You will find that samples of the local flora and fauna are displayed as well, and we highly recommend visiting this museum. Tonight, we will have a farewell dinner at the lodge and celebrate our achievements and share our experiences of the last few days on this wonderful trek. Overnight: Errante Lodge or similar. Distance: 9km Please Note: Depending on the opening hours of the museum it might not be possible to visit it during your time on Navarino Island (Museum opening hours are Tue - Fri 9.30am to 1.00pm and 3.00pm to 6.00pm; Sat + Sun 2.30pm to 6.30pm. This can change without notice.)

Meals: B,L,D

After breakfast we have to say goodbye to this wonderful part of the world and you will be transferred to the airport for our flight to Punta Arenas. The trip concludes on arrival at Punta Arenas airport. Flights from Punta Arenas to your next destination have to depart after 5:00pm, however we recommend not to book flights out of Punta Arenas before 7:00pm. IMPORTANT: Trekking will always be subject to weather conditions. We reserve the right to change the order of the days in this itinerary and this is at the discretion of the trip guide and based on operational considerations. The trip guide can modify, change or eliminate part of the itinerary based on safety and weather considerations.

Camping on the Dientes Circuit

This is a self sufficient camping trek based on sharing double occupancy (single supplements are available at extra cost). Tents and cooking equipment gear is provided, however you will be required to put up your own tent. There is two nights lodging in Puerto Williams, one before and one after the trek.

Every departure date advises whether the date is confirmed, and roughly how full it is. Here is what each one means.

Is the departure confirmed?

Guaranteed to go This departure has reached its minimum number and will run.
It is the point travellers should wait for before booking any non-refundable flights.
Close to guaranteed This appears only when a date is close to reaching minimum numbers. If it shows 1 or 2 to guaranteed, book as a pair on a date needing two and it reaches its minimum. Your booking confirms the date for everybody already booked.

How full is the date I am looking at?

Space is filling or Space is filling fast This date has bookings and places are still open. Filling fast means limited spots available, so don't leave your decision too late.
Closing soon Down to its last few places, or close enough to departure that we are finalising numbers. Still bookable online.
Closed Not bookable online - either full, or inside the notice we need to arrange permits, flights and logistics. Ask us anyway, you never know!

Availability questions answered

Will this trip actually go ahead, or could it be cancelled?

If a date shows Guaranteed to go, it runs regardless of further bookings. 

What does 2 to guarantee mean?

It means two travellers are enough to confirm the departure. It could be 2 more to add to the group, or the date only needs 2 people to run. Either way, if you book for two people, the date will become guaranteed to run. 

What happens if my departure does not reach minimum numbers?

You will know the status before you book. Every date on this page is labelled, and dates marked “Guaranteed to go” are running regardless of further bookings. Where a date has not reached its minimum we either offer a surcharge to operate for a smaller group size so it can still run, or we cancel it. We contact you directly either way.

Will I get my money back if you cancel a departure?

If we cancel a departure due to not meeting minimum trip numbers, you receive a full refund of everything you have paid us less any non recoverable costs, where insurance may cover you. We cannot refund money committed elsewhere – additional non refundable deposits advised at the time of booking, flights, visas, vaccinations, gear - which is why it is worth waiting for “Guaranteed to go” before booking other arrangements around this trip date. Please read our Booking Terms and Conditions before you book.

Why can't I book some dates online?

Each trip closes online a set time before departure. Permits, internal flights and hut or campsite bookings all have to be arranged before we take payment. Call or enquire as it might still be possible to organise last minute places.

The date I want is closed. What are my options and why does it say to enquire?

Cancellations happen and places do open up on closed dates, so it is worth being on our list. We can also tell you which nearby date on the same trip has space, which is usually the faster route. 

None of these dates suit me. Can you run this trip on another date?

Yes, as a private departure. We can run this trip on a date you choose, for your own group - family, friends, a club, or in many cases, just for the two of you. Tell us when you want to travel and who is coming, and we will build it around that.
