Description
It was the first civilized population center to remain on a permanent basis in Southern Patagonia. Punta Arenas is history and every corner evokes the adventures and experiences of its pioneers, who founded this city on December 18th, 1848 as an incipient colony, and which in the years to come was turned into the major cultural, industrial, commercial and livestock center of the region.
The one-day tour covers the well-planned avenues, squares and some of the approximate 30 monuments of the city, including a fascinating visit to the Maggiorino Borgatello Salesian Museum, which exhibits fabulous collections of the Magellan flora and fauna specimens, exclusive folklore and crafts of the indigenous tribes (yaganes, tehuelches onas and alacalufes) who inhabited the territory.
As background you can see the breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the Strait of Magellan, which makes this tour one of the most comprehensive tours of Punta Arenas city.
