Highlights
Immerse yourself in nature on a full-day hike in Punta Arenas and discover the stories of people who, against all odds, have thrived in Patagonia’s indomitable wilderness for over 11,000 years. Experience the immensity of Patagonia’s untouched wilderness as you hike on a little trafficked trail through the quiet hush of a 100-year-old forest. This hike in Punta Arenas will take you through winding trails abundant with plant life, up windswept hills, and down into the river valley that runs through the city. Crest gentle ridges and navigate pebbled plateaus with incredible 360-degree views of the sculpted geography of the Brunswick Peninsula. Learn how the landscape has, in turn, shaped life in Patagonia. Picnic with a lunch of fresh local flavours in the heart of the forest, enjoying views of towering green trees with moss-decorated branches. Afterwards, see how subtle changes in the landscape change the forest. After your hike, enjoy local tapas and a toast with your guide.

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.
