This a magnificently located airport, but any sense of wide-open space and adventure is abandoned at the entrance.
Surrounding mountains and a location on a peninsula that juts into the Beagle Channel create a stirring impression of this compact airport on the approach, spoiled closer up by the car park that fronts the terminal. The blue-green slope of the pitched roof, which reaches almost to the ground, mimics the blue-grey slope of mountains across the water.
It may be tired and sometimes crowded, but the airport does offer spectacular mountain and Beagle Channel views.If you’ve left your shopping until now, then your options will be pricey and limited. The entrance level features a small, upmarket store selling leather goods and mate paraphernalia, a duty free, and a souvenir stall.
