Puerto Natales, Última Esperanza, Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica Region, Chile, South America
Puerto Natales is a city in Chilean Patagonia. It is the capital of both the commune of Natales and the province of Última Esperanza, one of the four provinces that make up the Magallanes and Antartica Chilena Region in the southernmost part of Chile. Puerto Natales is the only city in the province it is located 247 km (153 mi) lying northwest of Punta Arenas. It is the final passenger port of call for the Navimag ferry sailing from Puerto Montt into the Señoret Channel as well as the primary transit point for travellers to Torres del Paine National Park, Chile. It is located at the opening of Última Esperanza Sound and was originally inhabited by the Kawésqar or Alacaluf people and the Aoniken or Tehuelche people. The first European to discover the city was Juan Ladrillero, a sailor who was looking for the Strait of Magellan, in 1557. The city was later settled by European immigrants, primarily Germans, British, including English, Welsh and Scots, Croats, Greeks, Italians and Spaniards. It was then settled by Chilean people, with a substantial number coming from the island of Chiloé, all attracted by the sheep breeding industry. The city was formally founded under the government of Ramón Barros Luco on May 31, 1911. Nowadays, one of its most important industries is tourism although the cattle and aquaculture industries are also significant. Today, there are dozens of camping sites, hostels, hotels, bed & breakfasts, restaurants and transportation services to fit a variety of budgets. There are daily Lan Chile flights from Santiago, Chile's capital city, to nearby Punta Arenas in the Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region. The smaller Sky airline offers direct flights to Puerto Natales three times a week. Overland, Puerto Natales is 3,100 kilometres from Santiago, 2,300 kilometres from Puerto Montt and 1,600 kilometres from Coyhaique. Puerto Natales is situated along the shore of Última Esperanza Sound and has views northward into the Cerro Benitez peaks of the Cerro Toro formation within the Cordillera Manuel Señoret. The city of Puerto Natales exists within the larger Natales commune, one of eleven communes in the Magallanes Region. Since the entire province of Última Esperanza (56,554 square kilometers) is divided into only two communes, the result is a rather large but sparsely populated area for the Natales commune. The commune's area is 48,974.2 km2 (18,909 sq mi), which renders it one of the largest communes in Chile, larger than seven regions of the country. Its altitude is 3 m (10 ft). The province where Puerto Natales is located was named Última Esperanza (Last Hope) by the sailor Juan Ladrilleros, who was seeking the Strait of Magellan in the year 1557. It was his last hope to find the Strait after exploring the maze of channels between the waters of the Pacific and the mainland. It was not until three centuries later, in 1830, that another major expedition sailed through the fjords and channels of Última Esperanza: the British expedition of the sloop HMS Beagle. Some of the expedition (Robert FitzRoy, William Skyring and James Kirke) and their senior officers - are remembered by several place-names in the area. Commander Fitzroy was the captain during the Second voyage of HMS Beagle (1831--1836). In 1870, interest in the region of Ultima Esperanza was rekindled. Among the daring travelers who ventured to these desolate lands was Santiago Zamora, also known as 'Baqueano' Zamora. He discovered the lakes of the Torres del Paine area and many wild horses are locally known as baguales. Another was the English traveler and writer Lady Florence Dixie, commemorated in the city's present-day Hotel Lady Florence Dixie. Dixie wrote the book, Across Patagonia. Puerto Natales was founded on May 1911 as a port for the sheep industry. During the last half of the 20th century the sheep industry declined and many people from Puerto Natales started to work in the coal mines of Río Turbio in Argentina. During the zenith of the sheep industry in Patagonia, two large frigorificos or freezer plants were constructed in the Natales area, of which one has survived. The plant at Puerto Bories, about 4 km NW from Puerto Natales, was a project of the Sociedad Explotadora de Tierra del Fuego. The Puerto Bories site was inaugurated in 1913 and was in production until 1993. The Cold-Storage Plant was constructed in Post Victorian Industrial architectural style and features of number of British machinery examples which reflect the technology of the beginning of the 20th century. The Cold-Storage Plant complex is part of the industrial history of the Puerto Natales area. A restoration project made by The Singular Hotels, was started on the complex in 2010 in order to transform the cold storage plant into a luxury hotel, called The Singular Patagonia, Puerto Bories hotel.

Via Puerto Natales to Punta Arenas and to Tierra del Fuego Chili
Puerto Natales is a city in Chilean Patagonia. Puerto Natales is the capital of both the commune (Spanish: comuna) of Natales and the province of Última Esperanza, (Spanish for Last Hope), one of the four provinces that make up the Magallanes and Antartica Chilena Region in the southernmost part of Chile. The city is located 247 km (153 mi) northwest of Punta Arenas and is the final passenger port of call for the Navimag ferry sailing from Puerto Montt into the Señoret Channel as well as the primary transit point for travelers to Torres del Paine National Park, Chile.
Punta Arenas (English: Sandy Point) is a commune and the capital city of Chile's southernmost region, Magallanes and Antartica Chilena. The city was officially renamed Magallanes in 1927, but in 1938 it was changed back to Punta Arenas. It is the largest city south of the 46th parallel south. The city is since 1977 one of the only two free ports in Chile.
Sitting by the Strait of Magellan Punta Arenas was established originally as a tiny penal colony in 1848. During the rest of the 1800s, it became increasingly large and important as international trade across the straits grew and the countryside around experienced a gold rush and a sheep farming boom around 1900. Chile effectively used Punta Arenas to exert sovereignty in southernmost South America leading to the strait of Magellan being recognized as Chilean in the Boundary treaty of 1881 between Chile and Argentina. The geopolitical importance of Punta Arenas has remained high in the 20th and 21st centuries as the city is important for logistics in the Antarctic peninsula.

Cruising Chile's Last Hope Sound | Part I - Balmaceda Glacier
From a four-part series on cruising Chile’s Last Hope Sound, here’s a look at the the Balmaceda glacier. Just 15 years ago the ice was at sea level. The mountain, also named Balmaceda, is severe and dramatic. On this morning, partially shrouded by dark clouds and a gray fog. Jabbing the sky at 2,035m (ft), it’s stunning and difficult to conquer. Only a handful of summits have been recorded.

겨울로 접어들면서 궂은 날씨가 이어진다. 관광객들의 발길이 뜸해지면서 한산한 모습이다. 역사 박물관을 찾았다. 박물관 입구에서 나를 맞는 것은 이곳 원주민들의 모습이다. 이 지역에는 셀크남족, 오나족 등의 원주민이 살고 있었지만 지금은 거의 볼 수가 없다. “본 박물관은 14,000년 전 선사시대부터 시작된 이곳 울티마 에스페란사(마지막 희망) 지방의 역사를 보여주고 있습니다. 이곳에 원래 살았던 원주민은 팜파에 살았고요. 야생 야마인 과나코를 사냥하면서 살았습니다. 1927년 이후로 이 종족은 사라졌어요.” 이 배는 초기 개척시대, 독일인 에르만이 가져 온 것으로, 목재 운반용으로 사용됐다. “가우초가 말을 타고 있는 모습이고요. 가우초는 평원에서 주로 살고 있는 유목민들을 일컫는데 이렇게 말에 안장을 씌우고 갖춘 모습을 볼 수 있죠. 가우초가 쓰는 모자(보이나)도 쓰고 있고요.” 가우초는 파타고니아 팜파스, 즉 대초원 지대에서 살며 목동이나 마부 생활을 하던 이들을 일컫는다. 이 지역에서는 이 가우초들을 북아메리카의 카우보이처럼 민속영웅으로 여기기도 한다.

There is inclement weather as you enter winter. Tourists are getting sicker as their footsteps become less visible. I found a history museum. At the entrance of the museum, it is the appearance of the native people here. There were indigenous peoples living in the area, such as the Shekhang and Ona, but now I can hardly see them. This museum shows the history of the Ultima Esperanza (last hope) province here since the prehistoric era 14,000 years ago. The Aboriginal people who lived here originally lived in the Pampas. I lived while hunting wild yama guano. This species has disappeared since 1927. It was an early pioneering era, brought by German Hermann, and used for timber transport. Gaucho is on horseback. Gaucho refers to the nomads who live in the plains, and can be seen wearing saddles. Gaucho refers to the Patagonia Pampas, those who lived in the savanna area and lived in a shepherd's or horsemanship. In these areas, these gaucos seem to be folk heroes like cowboys in North America.
