An intimate view of the history and present day Punta Arenas, highly recommended - A very informative tour of Punta Arenas. Our guide was born here and was well prepared and detailed quite a bit of the history of explorations to the Antarctic and the establishment and growth of Punta Arenas. The replica ships at the Nao Victoria Museo give one a feel for the amazing bravery of those who came to explore the Magallanes Region.
