Discover Punta Arenas
Punta Arenas is a city located on the Strait of Magellan in the Magallanes region of Chile. It is known for its unique location between the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean, its diverse wildlife, and European-influenced architecture. With over 130,000 inhabitants, Punta Arenas is renowned as one of Chile's most welcoming and vibrant cities.
One must-see attraction when visiting Punta Arenas is Mirador Cerro la Cruz -- an observation tower found atop a hill overlooking the city center. Here you'll find sweeping views of both land and sea while surrounded by stunning natural vistas. Nature lovers will also want to experience Magellan National Reserve which features picturesque forests, grasslands, and wetlands that attract numerous species of birds and other wildlife such as guanacos, foxes, pumas, flamingos, dolphins, penguins and seals.
No visit to Punta Arenas would be complete without experiencing a traditional Chilean meal at one of the local restaurants or bistros along Avenida Colon in downtown Punta Arenas. From seafood to classic Patagonian dishes like Curanto (a stew made with shellfish) there's something for every palate here!
