A 1,050-kilometer line from Puerto Natales to the end of the road.
The organizer built Del Fuego around a point-to-point ride through Chilean Patagonia rather than a repeated festival circuit. The 2027 event is presented as the fourth edition. Founded in 2024. By Tito Nazar and Áspero SPA.
Reputation: An emerging international ultra with a small field and an unusually ambitious route.

Signature challenge: Keeping equipment, navigation, fueling, sleep, and judgment intact from Puerto Natales through the ferry crossing and the final remote road to Caleta María.
The event features a sprint loop of 252 km and a 1000k race, both showcasing the stunning landscapes of Patagonia.

Patagonia is very far south, close to Antarctica maybe indeed I think it's the farthest South I've been.

The Haín regulation requires winter gloves, waterproof layers, insulated clothing, and an emergency system while explicitly naming winds above 100 km/h, snow, storms, and hypothermia among accepted risks. Multi-day autumn exposure at this remoteness meets the rubric's extreme-climate band.[1]
Haín starts in Puerto Natales, crosses the Strait of Magellan, finishes on the remote road at Caleta María, and then requires organizer extraction to Porvenir plus onward ferry travel. Medical facilities can be more than seven hours away, so this meets the rubric's extreme-remoteness threshold.[1]
Haín links Torres del Paine, Pali Aike, the Strait of Magellan, Tierra del Fuego, Pampa Guanaco, Lago Fagnano, and the final road to Caleta María. A mandatory 1,050-kilometer line through those places earns the rubric's bucket-list adventure score.[7]
The organizer calls 2027 the fourth edition, and the event has international riders and specialist bikepacking coverage, but it remains young and outside the established global championship or marquee-ultra tier. Local-to-emerging recognition is a two.[1]
Yes, if your ultra systems are already proven and you want the logistics, weather, and isolation to be part of the test. No, if this would be your first unsupported overnight ride.
