About this tour

Punta Arenas City Tour

The Punta Arenas City Tour is a must-do experience lasting around three hours. It includes visits to the main landmarks that shaped the city’s development, from its foundation to the present day.

First stage: industry and navigation

This stage focuses on the coal industry and the supply of ships crossing the Strait of Magellan. In addition, it highlights the social changes brought by this period.

Second stage: the white gold era

The arrival of sheep from the Falkland Islands boosted economic growth, known as the “white gold era.” As a result, magnificent buildings appeared in the historic center. Around the main square, palaces stand out with elaborate exterior details and fine interior decorations.

Final city views

The tour ends at viewpoints offering sweeping views of the modern city. Here, visitors can appreciate the contrast between the past and the present, with examples of postmodernism and ongoing urban and social development.

 

Another half-day option is:
Fort Bulnes Parque del Estrecho
