      With your rental car, you have the freedom to explore the wonders of Punta Arenas and beyond. In the afternoon, you can visit several fascinating places within the city. 

      Here are some must-see attractions:

      • Cemetery of Punta Arenas: Known for its beautiful, ornate tombs and mausoleums, this cemetery offers a unique glimpse into the cityโ€™s history and heritage.
      • Nao Victoria Museum: Discover a replica of the ship that first circumnavigated the globe, along with exhibits on the age of exploration and local maritime history.
      • Mirador Cerro de la Cruz: Drive up to this viewpoint for panoramic views of the city, the Strait of Magellan, and, on a clear day, the island of Tierra del Fuego.
      • Magdalena Island Penguin Tour: If you have time, consider booking a tour to Magdalena Island to see the charming Magellanic penguins in their natural habitat.
      • Historic Center and Cemetery Sara Braun: Near the Muรฑoz Gamero Square are the Sara Braun and Braun Menรฉndez Palaces and other centenary mansions. 1.5 km away is the beautiful Sara Braun Municipal Cemetery, with splendid mausoleums, and 300 km from here is El Ovejero monument.

One of its attractions is the high quality reconstruction of Fort Bulnes (1846), in the place where it was originally located.

It is the only ski center in the world with an ocean view. It has 14 tracks, a drag lift and a 1,200 m double chairlift, which during the summer is used to access the viewpoint (use of lift for non-members of the Andean Club).
