Off The Deep End

In search of good seafood we were directed to El Maritimo by of hostel owner. This modest seafood restaurant features fresh caught fish cooked to order. They also offer ceviche, mussels, calamari and other delicacies of the deep.
While not the best knock your socks off food, this place serves up huge portions for cheap prices. The clientele is a good mix of locals and tourists for a more authentic feel. Everything main dish is less than 6,000 Pesos which is a fantastic deal at less than $10 US!

After the increasingly unpleasant atmosphere at our previous hostel we went in search for another place to book for after we visited Torres del Paine. After checking a couple places we ended up at Hostal Bulnes on the main street in Puerto Natales of the same name. The owner Patty was very sweet and helpful letting us leave tons of stuff behind while we went backpacking for 4 days. Whe even took my laptop and put it in her room for safe keeping.

For our first two nights in Puerto Natales we stayed in Hostel Mirffo which is owned and operated by Hostel Lili-Patagonicos. At first this was a very chill place to stay. There was a great group of people there our first night. The owner seemed nice at first but became less so quickly. Other guests reported trouble with him from the point of registration onward.
