When you explore Punta Arenas, you’re stepping into the heart of Patagonia—a place shaped by the legendary Magellan Strait and its historical significance.
Begin your journey at the central Magellan Square, where a magnificent statue of Ferdinand Magellan stands. According to local lore, touching the toe of the native figure ensures your return to these captivating lands.
Next, Capture the essence of Punta Arenas from Cerro de la Cruz viewpoint. With the city’s vibrant colors against the backdrop of the Strait of Magellan and Tierra del Fuego, this is a picture-perfect moment.
Now Immerse yourself in local tradition by visiting a rustic rural house. Here, you’ll witness the time-honored process of slow cooking the world-renowned Patagonian lamb over an open fire. While the lamb tenderizes, gather around the flames and savor a calafate sour—the quintessential Patagonian drink—alongside appetizers. As the aroma of succulent lamb fills the air, indulge in a feast like a true local. Pair this mouthwatering dish with premium Chilean wines, and you’ll carry the taste of Patagonia with you forever.
After this unforgettable experience, you can confidently say you’ve truly been to Patagonia. As you head back to the pier, cherish the memories of legends, flavors, and breathtaking landscapes.
