Located on the western coast of Navarino Island in southern Chile, Bahía Wulaia is a sheltered bay along the Murray Channel. Once home to one of the region’s most important Yaghan settlements, the bay later became a meeting place between the Yaghan people and European explorers. Today, visitors can follow heritage trails through the surrounding forest and enjoy sweeping views of the bay and the islands of Tierra del Fuego.
