Punta Arenas holidays

Wrap up warm for a winter adventure to the heart of Patagonia. Punta Arenas holidays are a great way to explore the stunning scenery of Chile’s remote south. The town itself is as picturesque as its surroundings, with colourful buildings lining the cobbled streets and towering mountains looming in the distance. The colourful town has made a name for itself as a base for exploring Patagonia and the Torres del Paine National Park, home to some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet. Wander through Punta Arenas, where you’ll come across amazing examples of architecture and mansions (built during the 19th century wool boom) including Palacio Sara Braun which was built in 1882 and remains one of the most important historical buildings in Punta Arenas. From Cerro La Cruz, one of Punta Arenas's most prominent hills, you can gaze out at the city’s cluster of colourful roofs and shimmering sea beyond. Punta Arenas holidays are a great destination for wildlife enthusiasts, too. If you're lucky enough to be there during the breeding season, head out on a boat trip to Isla Magdalena where you’ll find thousands of penguins nesting together. Read more
