Our Fuerte Bulnes tour takes you to a key historical site located 55 km south of Punta Arenas, Chile. This reconstructed fort marks the place where the Chilean Republic first claimed the Strait of Magellan in 1843. As a result, it became a symbol of Chile’s sovereignty in the far south. Because of its history and location, it’s one of the most important heritage sites in Patagonia.
The tour is ideal for visitors of all ages and involves short, easy walks. In fact, it’s one of the most accessible excursions near Punta Arenas. Learn more about Fuerte Bulnes on Wikipedia.
The tour includes several stops. First, you’ll visit the Interpretation Center, where you’ll find exhibits about the natural and human history of the Strait of Magellan. After that, you’ll walk through the reconstructed fort itself, including the chapel, jail, post office, and lookout points.
In addition, the area offers scenic views of the Strait and Dawson Island. The wooden buildings and coastal surroundings create a unique feeling of life at the edge of the world. You may also like our San Isidro Lighthouse trekking tour.
