The Hotel Boutique La Yegua Loca is the perfect spot to base your stay in Punta Arenas before or after your cruise at the bottom of the world.
Here are five must-see places that every visitor should have on their list:
Salesian Museum: Founded by Italian missionaries in 1893 and particularly strong on the history of Patagonia’s Indigenous peoples: the Aonikenk, the Kawésqar and the Selk’nam.
Municipal Cemetery: One of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world. Modeled after Recoleta burial ground in Buenos Aires, with towering mausoleums, magnificent gardens and sections devoted to every community that shaped this city — Croatians, Germans, British and Spanish.
Nao Victoria Museum: A waterfront maritime museum with full-size reproductions of Magellan’s flagship, Darwin’s HMS Beagle, and Shackleton’s rescue craft. An essential stop for anyone curious about the heroic age of exploration.
Cerro de la Cruz Viewpoint: A short uphill walk from La Yegua Loca on Almirante Señoret road brings you to a hilltop cross and panoramic views over Punta Arenas and the strait. A beautiful spot at sunrise or sunset.
Plaza de Armas: Stroll the main square and stop at the Magellan Monument. Touch (or kiss) the toe of the Indigenous figure for good luck and to ensure your return to Patagonia. Legend never lies.
