Instituto de la Patagonia Tours and Activities

Admire one of Punta Arenas’ many historic monuments, a memorial dedicated to the ranching wealth and rural traditions of Chile’s Magallanes region.

Wander along the paths of this village-like cemetery, where the elaborate tombs of wealthy families lie next to modest and decaying graves.

Spot a wonderful collection of religious art and decorations at this parish church. Afterward visit a museum focused on the ethnography of Patagonia.

Learn the fascinating story of the remote Magallanes region through the exhibitions displayed at this lavish former residence of an entrepreneur.

Overlooking Plaza Muñoz Gamero is this opulent mansion, a place to imagine the lives of Punta Arenas’ high society residents during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

The historical heart of Punta Arenas is home to colonial-style mansions, an artisan market and a statue of a famous explorer.
