Remote Roars: Epic Stadiums Worth the Expedition

9. Estadio Regional de Chinquihue – Chile

Located in Chile’s remote Patagonia region, Estadio Regional de Chinquihue is one of the most isolated professional stadiums in South America. Set against a spectacular backdrop of lush green hills, misty fjords, and the vast Pacific Ocean, this stadium looks like something out of a dream—especially on foggy days when it appears to be floating in a mystical cloud forest. It is home to Deportes Puerto Montt, a football club that plays in Chile’s second division, but its location alone makes it one of the most visually stunning football venues in the world. The stadium’s proximity to the ocean means it is constantly exposed to unpredictable coastal weather. Players often deal with heavy rain, strong winds, and the chilling cold of southern Chile, making every match here a battle against the elements. The sky can shift from bright sunshine to torrential downpours within minutes, adding a wild and untamed element to the games played here.
