About Punta Arenas
Punta Arenas is the main city of Chilean Patagonia, a windswept port on the Strait of Magellan with wool-era mansions and penguin colonies nearby.
Punta Arenas stands on the Strait of Magellan, the sea route between the Atlantic and the Pacific, one of the southernmost cities in the world. Plaza Muñoz Gamero, with its monument to Magellan, is ringed by grand houses built by sheep-farming and shipping families in the late nineteenth century, and the municipal cemetery a few blocks away has avenues of clipped cypresses and ornate tombs.
