    Reception at Punta Arenas airport. Transfer to Puerto Natales through the Patagonian steppe. (Depending on arrival flight and time of year, November to February, it is possible to visit the Otway Penguin colony this day). Once in Puerto Natales we do a brief city tour and have lunch at local restaurant. After lunch we visit Puerto Bories located 5 km north of the city, along the Last Hope Fjord. Built to process the output of the Patagonian estancias in 1915 it was the largest industrial complex in Puerto Natales. Until the 70\u2019s it worked as slaughterhouse and cold store. We visit its abandoned facilities nowadays transformed into a museum declared National Monument in 1996. This museum is an example of the quiet efforts of the Patagonian pioneers to form the city of Puerto Natales in 1911. Transfer to Torres del Paine National Park where we are received by guanacos and local fauna.
