Visit replicas of some of the famous ships that sailed these waters on quests to find new worlds, new life, and new hope.

Jamie is from Canada living in Patagonia so has perfect English. Her knowledge of all the explorers and detailed stories about their expeditions is impressive. It inspired me to come home and read up on them. The tour was very interesting with lots of great photos taken. We concluded at Bar Shackleton which was so elegant and had lots of art about about the Endurance. At the end, we both felt like we had made a new friend! This is an easy, unrushed tour; I loved it!
Interesting tour

We had a great time exploring the recreated ships, walking through the area that had items from the past, and exploring the city. Then we had a wonderful snack at Sarah Braun beautiful house. Manuel was a great guide with lots of good information.

A very informative tour of Punta Arenas. Our guide was born here and was well prepared and detailed quite a bit of the history of explorations to the Antarctic and the establishment and growth of Punta Arenas. The replica ships at the Nao Victoria Museo give one a feel for the amazing bravery of those who came to explore the Magallanes Region.
Fabulous Experience
