Punta Arenas is situated on the shores of the Magellan Strait. This city historically served as an important port and supply base for ships seeking to navigate around the continent of America. However, after the opening of the Panama Canal, the number of vessels visiting the port declined, leading to a reduction in its prominence. Today, only ships departing for fishing in the Drake Passage and those traveling to Antarctica utilize its services. In recent years, with the discovery of oil in the region, Punta Arenas has experienced rapid development and is becoming a service center for drilling and refining, with a population of approximately 115,000 residents.

Upon arrival, we will embark on a shared drive of about 4 hours to Torres del Paine National Park, recognized as one of the most beautiful national parks in the world. The reserve is located on the southern side of the “Glacier Park” and spans hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. Established in the late 1950s, the park is named after its three towering granite peaks, which are visible from afar and symbolize the park.

Within the park, you can observe dozens of bird species (including the South American condor, the largest raptor in the world, along with ostriches, caracaras, flamingos, and many other waterfowl), as well as various types of wildlife, including guanacos (a type of antelope from the camel family similar to llamas) and the large wild rabbits of Patagonia.
