Punta Arenas

Punta Arenas Cruises

A beautiful Chilean coastal city

Information about Punta Arenas

Punta Arenas ("Sandy Point" in Spanish) is the capital city of Chile's southernmost region, Magallanes and Antarctica Chilena.

Punta Arenas is the largest city below the 46th parallel and is one of the largest cities in the entire Patagonian Region. It is only 870 miles from the coast of Antarctica, yet Punta Arenas is a vibrant and modern city that's the perfect starting point for Antarctic exploration.

Visitors can also take advantage of the city's rich history, cultural heritage and bustling urban life before embarking on their adventure to the white continent. Whether you're an avid nature lover, a history buff, or an adventurous traveler, Punta Arenas is the perfect starting point for an unforgettable journey to Antarctica.

Interesting facts about Punta Arenas

Punta Arenas is the southernmost city in Chile and is located near the Straits of Magellan.

It was founded in 1848 as a penal colony and later became a hub for sheep farming and wool trade.

Punta Arenas was once the largest city in Patagonia and was a major stopover for ships traveling between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

The city has a rich cultural heritage, including a significant population of Croatian immigrants, who have contributed to its unique architecture and cuisine.

End of Air Cruise

After a peaceful night in your hotel, you will board the transfer vehicle to Punta Arenas airport for your flight home.

Eat a hearty Chilean breakfast in your hotel before leaving for the airport. We know your mind will be swimming with hundreds of remarkable memories from the days you have spent exploring the splendors of Antarctica.

Punta Arenas
Opt. Magallanes National Reserve

Just outside Punta Arenas, the Magallanes National Reserve invites you into a quieter kind of wilderness. With lenga forests whispering in the wind, sweeping views of the city and the Strait of Magellan, and paths lined with native flora, this Patagonian gem is a perfect introduction to the region’s wild soul.

What we like about Magallanes National Reserve is the sense of stillness—you can hear the crunch of leaves, the flap of a condor’s wings, and your own breath in the cool, clean air. With Viventura, you won’t miss a thing. Our expert guides point out signs of foxes, tell the story of the land, and lead you up scenic ridges without the need to check your watch or your compass.

Whether you’re stretching your legs after a long journey or tuning into Patagonia’s rhythms before heading deeper, this reserve is a soulful stop—and we make it seamless.

Punta Arenas
Viewpoint Punta Arenas

At the edge of the world, there’s a hill where time seems to pause. From the Mirador Cerro de la Cruz in Punta Arenas, rooftops scatter like painted tiles toward the glimmering Strait of Magellan. Ships drift silently below, and clouds dance across the vast Patagonian sky. With Viventura, you don’t just visit—you arrive with context, timing, and local insight.

What we like about the Punta Arenas viewpoint is the feeling of standing between worlds: city and sea, memory and horizon. Our small group experience brings you to the lookout at the golden hour, when the light touches every church spire and the Andes loom faintly in the background.

With Viventura, you get more than a photo stop—you get the story of this windswept port, its settlers, its explorers, and its enduring charm.
