Right on the shores of the Straits of Magellan there is a beautiful, moderately mysterious, moderately ancient, moderately modern city of Punta Arenas, once occupied not the last place in the port map of America. In Spanish, its name means "Sand Cape". About the former grandeur resemble luxurious mansions and palaces in the historic part of the city. But all the details of the exciting historical events of this settlement will be told by the exposition of the Regional Museum of Local History.

Shopols are first of all torn into the free economic zone of Zone-Frank, where you can buy goods of world brands without extra charges. But the most exciting is to stand on the top of La Cruz hill, substituting the warm winds heated up after the ascent and enjoying the stunning panorama of the strait and the far north of mystic Tierra del Fuego, seen far away.

Many try to seize the time to visit the penguin colonies in Otway and cave Milodon, where the remains of prehistoric animals were found. A great pleasure will be provided by a visit to the ski resort, the service of which is at an altitude. Inveterate and not only fishermen adore gambling sports, for which the local lakes General-Ibáñez, Risapatron, Thermas de Puyuáapi - a great place.
