Hostel Nataly

Mine host Willy: The most helpful and welcoming owner we’ve met on our travels across the globe. He’s highly knowledgeable about the area and gives trekking advice as well as renting out equipment. He’s helped to stop us from shivering by providing some essential thermal roll mats. Shortly after our arrival he seems thrilled that two Brits have shown up: he says we’re the first he’s ever had (and hopefully not the last, as we’d like to recommend this place and the genuine welcome). Come to Chile; Be certain to experience the Torres del Paine; do it from the starting point of Puerto Natales; stay at Hostel Nataly!
As the first Brits to stay here, we are honoured to be asked to stick a Union Jack pin flag in Willy’s huge map of the world, which adorns one of the long walls in the communal dining area. Jon plants the Union Jack proudly in Cornwall. Looking at this map, the latitude of where we were in El Chaltén is exactly the corresponding latitude in the Southern hemisphere to where we live at home.
