The Punta Arenas City Tour is an unmissable panorama, with an approximate duration of 3 hours, which includes visits to the main landmarks that marked the development of the city. From its foundation to the present day. In the first stage; linked to the development of the coal industry and the supply of ships that crossed the Strait of Magellan. The second stage in the development of the city, generated mainly by the rise of livestock, the introduction of sheep brought from the Falkland Islands or Malvinas, forging a great economic development, known as the era of white gold. An example of this can be seen today in the historic center of Punta Arenas, the architecture around the main square, where large palaces with exuberant exterior decorative details and fine interior decoration stand out.
