Travel to Punta Arenas
Found near the southern tip of South America, Punta Arenas went by “Magallanes” for about a decade before it decided that it wasn’t the right identity. Just outside the city sits one only two free ports that Chile offers.
A stay here allows you to explore the Brunswick Peninsula, enjoy some time at the beach, and even be the start of an exploration of the Antarctic Peninsula.
A stay in Punta Arenas demands a visit to the Nao Victoria Museum. Here you’ll find a full-scale replica of the first ship that is recognized as circumnavigating the entire world. You’ll find a replica of the James Caird at the museum as well, which is just a few kilometers north of the city.
Several natural monuments surround the city and offer unique exploration opportunities. Alberto de Agostini National Park offers visitors access to a glacier and several hiking trails. Head to Los Pinguinos Natural Monument and you’ll get to visit with local penguins. There is a lighthouse to explore on the island as well.
Be sure to visit Cape Froward (not a typo), which is the southernmost point of mainland South America and right on the north shore of the Magellan Strait. A large metallic cross was erected on the grounds in 1987 to carry on a tradition that has been in place there for centuries.
Within the city proper, you’ll find a distinctive Croatian atmosphere. You can schedule a fishing charter, take a ferry to Tierra del Fuego, and then a beautiful sunset near the very bottom of the world. A trip to Punta Arenas is a one-of-a-kind experience that should not be missed.
