Philippe, ermmmm, nope.
Puerto Toro is indeed on soil of Navarino Island, so nothing wrong with it. Though the town is in front of Picton Island, you can see it from the settlement.

#2 Yes you are right and I am wrong. But my mistake is less than 3 nautical miles long!

Yes, it´s settled on Navarino Is. and I have had the opportunitie to visit it long years ago when I was working for ASMAR shipyard in P. Arenas.....A nice but very little village that needs more care from Gvt. - from the Magallanes Region, mainly - to help those living there in very difficult conditions.
