(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Mirador Cerro De La Cruz
We began our excursion by presenting an introduction to the place where we are geographically to explain regarding the history of the place and how the landscape was formed that we can see today when large ice sheets covered Patagonia
Parque del Estrecho de Magallanes
Also known as the Strait Park, it was founded in 1843 when the government of the time showed special interest in the Strait of Magellan and surrounding lands. An hour of driving will take us south out of Punta Arenas where we begin to observe the landscape relief, beautiful scenery formed by waters of the Strait of Magellan, Tierra del Fuego Island and Dawson Island, important in our history as well. We will pass by small settlements where families from Punta Arenas have decided to build interesting places that were originally destined for weekend resting places but that each time extended their stays for the beauty of the landscape and the environment. This excursion also gives us the opportunity to do bird watching. Once at the Fort we will take a historical tour and for those who wish we will visit a viewpoint where we access after walking amid the native flora.
Museo del Estrecho
One of the most interesting places for those interested in learning or perhaps remembering what they explained to them as children at school. We will present the maritime history from the beginning of time as well as by explorers who through time have been plying seas until passing through this important Strait before the opening of the Panama Canal making it the must pass so as to avoid surrounding Cape Horn considered a cemetery of boats from different places of the world where today there is a monument to the albatross that honors all who tried to cross without the fortune of surviving the terrible climatic conditions that characterize it.
