Does the Private Cruise Shore Excursion From Punta Arenas: Cultural & Historical Tour excursion have itinerary items?

Accepted Answer

This exclusive tour is designed to allow you the chance to discover the most interesting sites in the area at your own pace with the comfort and privacy of your own vehicle, driver and English-speaking guide.  - Our first stop after being picked up at the cruise terminal is the Nao Victoria Museum, which offers visitors the experience of interacting with replicas of the ships that contributed to the discovery and colonization of the region, including the Victoria, part of an expedition commanded by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and was the first ship to circumnavigate the world between 1519-1522. - We then visit the Patagonian Institute’s Museo del Recuerdo (Museum of Memory), where pioneer days are made real again. On display are a collection of antique farm and industrial machinery, a typical pioneer house and shearing shed, and a wooden-wheeled shepherds’ trailer. - Back in 1893, the Salesian missionaries that had settled in Punta Arenas headed by Father José Fagnano resolved to create a museum that represented the valuable cultural and ecological richness of the region. Thus, this institution named after its first director, Father Maggiorino Borgatello, was created. The museum is distributed into 4 levels which, in turn, are divided in sections, namely: ethnology, archaeology, history, and wildlife. The objects and documents from the Salesian days, the handicrafts and tools made by the natives, along with the fossils and petrified animals from the area are also part of the display. - Afterwards, we visit the Sara Braun Municipal Cemetery. The cemetery tells the story of the early settlers to the area. The beautiful mausoleums of the wealthy rival those of the Recoleta in Buenos Aires. Here you will find the tomb of the Indio Desconocido or “Unknown Indian.” His body was found on an island in 1929 and brought here. Rumors began that he had miraculous powers so people started leaving money at the grave asking for special favors. The money was collected and eventually a bronze statue was placed on his grave. The last member of the Selk’nam indigenous tribe is also buried here. - Next stop, the city’s main plaza where you will find a statue of Ferdinand Magellan gazing out to the sea, which features a number of figures at its base, including a mermaid and an indigenous male whose leg and foot dangle down the base. His foot has been touched so often that the bronze is burnished a shining gold. Legend has it that touching his foot is good luck and means you will return someday to Punta Arenas. - After strolling around the plaza, which also contains various handicraft stands for souvenir shopping, we will head to the Costanera, a boardwalk along the Strait of Magellan. - Then, we will drive to Cerro de la Cruz Hill, where you will enjoy panoramic views of the city and Strait of Magellan. Here, you will have an opportunity to have lunch (not included). - After lunch, we will journey up into the hills of the Magellan National Reserve to the Club Andino Ski Center for more spectacular views of Punta Arenas, the Strait of Magellan, and Tierra del Fuego. Here, you will have the option of taking a chairlift to the top of the mountain, weather permitting. The chairlift is closed on Mondays for maintenance.
