Creator's Key Takeaways

It's a great little city with stunning scenery, and if you get the chance to visit Chile on a cruise, I would highly recommend going there.

It was still an incredible experience and something I will always remember.

The entry into Punter Arenus is a beautiful one and for me the departure was as well.

If you love penguins, you will love visiting here as there are no humans and the penguins are the ones in charge.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Put on winter gear for the wind and rain in Punta Arenas.
Stay on the paths and keep 2 meters from penguins on Magdalena Island.
Walk to the main square from the port for a 10-15 minute stroll.
