What to do in Punta Arenas

Punta Arenas sits on the very edge of the Strait of Magellan, making it an ideal springboard into the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. Pure, rugged Patagonian wilderness awaits, which you'll experience to the fullest on hikes amongst glaciers and Andean peaks. Along the way, look skywards for the island's beautiful birdlife and scan the landscape for muskrats, red foxes and comical guanaco. Or traverse the Beagle Channel, where whales spout from metres away and seabirds fill the air.
