Guia completo de Porvenir →

Porvenir, the capital of Chile's Tierra del Fuego province, is a windswept town on the northern shore of the island facing the Strait of Magellan. Founded during the 1880s gold rush, it retains a frontier atmosphere with colorful tin-roofed buildings and a pace of life that hasn't changed in decades. For car campers, Porvenir is the gateway to Chilean Tierra del Fuego — a vast, sparsely populated island of rolling grasslands, estancias, beaver-dammed rivers, and the remarkable king penguin colony at Bahía Inútil. The ferry from Punta Arenas arrives at Porvenir, making it the natural first stop. From here, gravel roads lead south through the island's interior toward Lago Blanco and eventually to the Argentine border and Ushuaia.
