Why take this tour?
Hidden behind the nostalgic charm of Punta Arenas lies an epic history. This remote outpost once rose from obscurity to become one of the most important cities in the world- only to sink back into obscurity once more.
Visit an open-air museum to see and touch the tools and treasures of Punta Arenas’ early citizens. Learn about their struggles and how, to this day, the wilderness of Patagonia dictates the way of life here.
Meet the rich and famous characters whose Palacios ring the Plaza de Armas. Go behind the scenes and into the home of Punta Arenas' first female entrepreneur and her rags-to-riches husband.
Tour historic neighbourhoods and learn about the diverse nations woven into the tapestry of the region's identity. Glimpse Patagonian culture with a visit to the historic Punta Arenas Municipal Cemetery.
Finish your tour with a trip to a little-known gem to taste local foods and flavours with a gourmet twist, paired with a glass of local wine, beer, coffee, or fresh juice.
