Fishing near Puerto Natales, Magallanes

Puerto Natales sits in the Última Esperanza Province of Magallanes, gateway to some of Chilean Patagonia's most productive trout water. The rivers and lakes fanning out toward Torres del Paine — including Río Serrano, Lago Sofía, and Lago del Toro — draw fly anglers after wild brown trout, sea trout, and king salmon in largely undisturbed conditions. Several guiding operations run out of the town itself, and DIY access is also possible on many of these waters.
