5Great experience in Punta Arenas
Gerardo and Phillips were wonderful. So informative and fun to be with. Loved every minute.
5History, Culture and Everything In-Between in Punta Arenas
Our guide and driver were fantastic! Our guide took us to the normal highlights, but also to some of the out-of-the-way places that have really stuck in our memories. We hiked on trails through wind shaped forests and down paths along the shore of the Magellan Straights. The restaurant he took us to for lunch over looked the Straight of Magellan and the food and cold refreshments were so good. We saw a lot in only 5 hours. Highly recommend this excursion.
5Day in Punta Arenas
Comprehensive and informative tour of Punta Arenas. Geraldo is an excellent tour guide. His love of the area and its history is evident.
5Very nice, private tour of Punta Arenas and the surrounding areas
We had a fabulous day with Gerardo in and around Punta Arenas; I had some specific requests and he accommodated everything we wanted to see. He was fun to hang out with and very informative. This was supposed to be a group tour but no one else booked; Gerardo reached out to me and offered us the tour anyway and we were happy to accept. We really enjoyed the day.
5Punta Arenas flavor and feel
We did the Punta Arenas & Parque del Estrecho on a private tour with Gerardo. We could not have had a better time. The weather did not cooperate as it rained the first part but we still had a great tour. We toured the city, Fort Bulnes, the cemetery and stopped for a great empanada lunch. Gerardo informed us of the history and culture of Patagonia with a great deal of passion. Many go see The penguins, but I feel we got so much more from getting a flavor and feel of Punta Arenas.
5You want to see the city...
You want to see the city and not miss a spot..this is the tour. There is so much history and boy the island and food. Thank you Girardo for making our day bright and sunny. The walk to the shore and also the comfort of driving around and seeing Punta Arenas. Thank you.

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.
