This full-day hike climbs from a pebbled beach on the Strait of Magellan to the 825-meter (2,707 ft) summit of windswept Mount Tarn, on the Brunswick Peninsula about 45 minutes south of Punta Arenas. We climb 14 km (8.7 mi) through lush coastal forest, then break out into the swirling wind and dry air of the high Andean desert near the top, with wide-open panoramas over Isla Dawson, the Darwin Mountain Range, and the untouched valleys of the Brunswick Peninsula. Partway up, we stop for a picnic beside a mountain stream. Afterward, we head to a local restaurant in a historic house for an honest Patagonian feast. A private guide, private transportation, snacks, a picnic lunch, drinks, and entrance fees are all included.
