Punta Arenas, Chile

Why Walk Punta Arenas

Punta Arenas sits at the southernmost tip of mainland Chile, overlooking the Strait of Magellan with views of Tierra del Fuego on clear days. The city's walkable center reflects its history as a prosperous port during the era before the Panama Canal, when every ship rounding South America passed through the strait. The Plaza de Armas features a bronze statue of Magellan, and rubbing the toe of the indigenous Patagonian figure at its base is said to guarantee your return. The Sara Braun Palace and the Regional Museum tell the story of the wealthy sheep ranching families who built grand mansions in this remote outpost. The Cementerio Municipal is a remarkable cypress-lined cemetery with elaborate mausoleums of English, Croatian, and Spanish immigrant families. The waterfront offers views of the strait and the Nao Victoria, a replica of Magellan's ship. Penguin colonies at Isla Magdalena and the dramatic landscapes of Torres del Paine National Park are accessible from the city.
