Is There Internet Connection in Torres del Paine?

We understand that staying connected has become a basic need for many. Torres del Paine National Park is located in the northern part of the Magallanes and Chilean Antarctic region, specifically in the Última Esperanza province, about 1.45 hours from the city of Puerto Natales in a small commune called Torres del Paine.

You might think that, being so far from civilization, internet connection is impossible. However, thanks to technological advances, there are options to access the internet even in remote areas during your visit.

Here’s What You Need to Know:

The first thing to know is that the mobile service provider Entel has the best coverage in the region and within the park, especially in central areas like the Administration sector, Serrano, Grey, and the trekking routes on the W Circuit. In these zones, you can find 3G and even 4G signals in some cases. Movistar and Claro also offer coverage, but to a lesser extent. We recommend getting a prepaid SIM card to access the web from almost anywhere.

Enjoy the Scenery!
Remember that the main goal of your trip is to enjoy nature and the stunning views of the park. Don’t let the need to stay connected consume you. Connectivity in Torres del Paine is limited, so relish the experience of being in a remote place, disconnected from the digital world.
