Other important information
Why a departure from puerto williams instead of Ushuaia? This saves you from doing the formalities for the boat and these passengers who save you two days on your program effect leaving from Ushuaia involves making the exit from Argentina (immigration, naval prefecture, customs) and four sailing hours to get to puerto Williams and start again entry formalities in Chile (immigration, naval armada, Customs and Phytosanitary) and similar to returning to Ushuaia. In addition, the port of Williams prevents us from going to sea at above 35 established nodes, which could compromise your air tickets for your return How to reach us puerto williams? Two solutions open to you -By punta Arenas plane via the DAP.cl from Monday to Saturday for a fare of about 110 euros go, same return -By shuttle departing from Ushuaia from Monday to Saturday. 9.30am at the port of Ushuaia for a 200 euros return
