Story:
20 years ago, there was an old wooden bridge that burden down. This in-communicated the Tyndall Hotel on the other side of the Serrano River.
During my last visit, discovered a bridge and a road towards Puerto Natales were built, reducing one hour driving time.
I always understood that the Burned Bridge (Puente Quemado), was the original shortest connection with the town of Puerto Natales. My understanding was that the burning of the bridge could have been due to a small town close to the border with Argentina, that lives from tourists’ influx, but having a longer road, people would prefer the shortest route.
It was the rivalry with the hotel located at the South side of Río Serrano. The hotel had an excellent restaurant, that captured many customers from other lodges in the park.
Today with the construction of the new bridge, all remaining’s are gone. This smaller pedestrian bridge downstream, has the looks of what I saw originally.
