Punta Arenas, Chile

Recorded February 26, 2009.

Punta Arenas (literally in Spanish: "Sandy Point") is the most prominent settlement on the Strait of Magellan and the capital of the Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region, Chile. Located on the Brunswick Peninsula, Punta Arenas is the southernmost city of its size in the world. Punta Arenas is the third largest city in the entire Patagonian Region. In 2002, it had a population of 120,000.

This video begins as we sail into the harbor on the Star Princess and drop anchor. The first thing we see are many dolphins swimming in the harbor. Next we drive along the main street in Punta Arenas viewing the many monuments along the way. Next there is a visit to the Patagonian Institute Museum which is followed by a visit to the cemetery which is landscaped with many beautiful cypress trees. The video concludes with a walk through the town square followed by a hilltop view of the city looking out toward the Strait of Magellan.
