Sheep Meat Plant
Puerto Bories, about 4 km from downtown Puerto Natales in Chile, was a small "company town" whose focus was a "frigorifico", a sheep meat and wool processing plant belonging to the Sociedad Explotadora de Tierra del Fuego. In addition to the plant complex, the private town included a radio station, swimming pool, small dairy, recreational facilities, a police outpost, and housing for high-level company employees such as managers, engineers, and accountants. After most commercial activity at the freezer complex ceased during the 1990s a part of the factory is still abandoned, another part has been converted into a luxury hotel.
