Embark on half-day, narrated drive that focuses on Punta Arena's history. Keep your camera ready for a brief stop at La Cruz Hill, the tallest point of the city that promises breathtaking views of Punta Arenas and the Strait of Magellan. You'll also make a photo stop and shop for souvenirs at Plaza Muñoz Gamero, Punta Arenas' central plaza and home to the Hernando de Magallanes Monument. Your tour continues to the Salesian Museum Marggiorino Borgatello, which is a testimony to the life of the indigenous inhabitants and the ecosystem in the far south. Among its many exhibits are weapons used by the extinct Fuegian Indians, and a full-size replica of the Cave of Hands (Cueva de las Manos). You'll visit the Patagonia Institute for a flashback into pioneering days. On your drive back to the pier, you'll make a stop at the City Cemetery and walk along the avenues lined with cypress trees and magnificent mausoleums.
