What to do and see in Punta Arenas, Magallanes Region: The Best Things to do Adventurous
Overlooking the Strait of Magellan, this isolated city in southern Patagonia bustles with windswept trekkers en route to glacier-filled Torres del Paine National Park or an Antarctic cruise. Before transiting, take note of the mansion-lined main square, Plaza Muñoz Gamero; the City Cemetery, with its elaborate tombs; and the Sara Braun Palace and Braun Menendez Residence, a preserved slice of the city's wealthy pioneer past. Daily flights connect the city with Santiago and Ushuaia.

Unlike more conventional expeditions to Antarctica which leave South America by ship and take two days each way to cross the roughest seas in the world, Antarctica21 flies you there in two hours, giving you more time on target and fewer hours of seasickness. But...it's a wilderness, not for the faint of heart or the casual tourist. You must be in good shape and prepared to walk significant distances on rough and sometimes hilly terrain. Seas can be rough even along the coast. There are no paved streets, no sidewalks, no docks. You walk about a mile to the beach, put on your flotation vest, and make your first beach extraction by Zodiac boat to go the ship. Each day there is a morning and afternoon excursion to a point of interest in Antarctica, which makes for a total of 14 beach landings and extractions by Zodiac over the course of the week. The ship is by no means spartan, but there are no shops, no night clubs, no theatres, no swimming pool, no casinos. There is a comfortable dining room, a comfortable lounge, and a comfortable meeting room that accommodates the roughly 70 passengers. Rooms are well appointed and service is good. The expedition crew is young, athletic, and enthusiastic. The focus is on the continent. Views are breathtaking. Zip among icebergs in a Zodiac, snowshoe up mountains, take the Polar Plunge in 0°C water or kayak in a warm-water volcanic caldera—it's all amazing. Photo opportunities are endless. This is an experience you will talk about for years.
