Punta Arenas: Attractions and more...
Punta Arenas is a historical and cultural hub. Some of the city’s most interesting attractions are the Museo Salesiano, which provides visitors with an extraordinary and eclectic introduction to virtually every aspect of the region. The Centro Cultural Braun-Menendèz, housed in the mansion of one of the city’s most prosperous families, offers an intimate glimpse of the life of a prosperous Punto Arenas trading family. Other places of historical interest include the Punta Arenas harbour and the Punta Arenas Cemetery.
Nature lovers can visit the famous Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, whose tall, granite pillars drop sharply into a valley brimming with flora, fauna and breathtaking scenery. A visit to the pinguinero, the nearby penguin settlements, is also an easy day trip.
For sports lovers, the Cerro Mirador Ski Center, which has a beautiful view of the Strait of Magellan, offers plenty of skiing opportunities.
