everyone is rubbing their hands on the statues brass foot, apparently you will return again. Surely must by 99.9999% untrue, unless you are the airport bus driver. anyhow, the square looks boring, but when you get inside the trees its not too bad. little stalls with souvenirs and stuff.

Worth a visit. Its in the main square. Large statute with brass reliefs depicting ships. The square is picturesque. There are stalls nearby selling hand woollen wear.

At the base of this standing monument are maidens. By tradition if you rub one of these maidens toes by tradition you will return to Punta Arenas

In town for the day on a cruise ship and arranged for a taxi to take us around for a couple of hours. Definitely drop by this square and they say if you kiss the toe you will return to punta arenas.

Ferdinand Magellan stands proud and tall on this monument at Plaza Muñoz Gamero. Ferdinand Magellan is the Portuguese explorer that discovered Chile. This is a well designed monument. The legened says touching the foot of the statue will bring people luck. And kiss the toe will guarantee you come back to Puerta Arenas. At the plaza has lots of vendors selling sweaters. scarfs, hats, crafts and souvenirs. Also there is an information center there to service you.Happy Travelling!

This statue is the Big Deal Must-See while you are here, and it is indeed impressive from all four sides. Knowing a little bit about the symbology helps in your appreciation of it, too. Look it up. Supposedly if you kiss the big toe of the Indian (the Patagon) on the statue you'll come back to Punta Arenas. You can see how well polished that part of the statue is, but I try to skip all of these things, including Trevi Fountain, which probably started the whole craze, because I have other places to go. But if you are in town for even a little while, you want to stop here one time. It sits in the middle of Gamero Plaza.

If you are in Punta Arenas, you won't be able to miss the city square with the statue of Magellan. The city square is very lovely and it is fun to pass through there en route to other places.

The statue is in the town square right next to the hotel. We were there for a folklore display and to shop the sweater vendors. Very windy.

Stupendous memmory to the courage of Fernão de Magalhães on achieving the 1st part of his dream : The passage through the South of the American South Continent .Although ... His Portuguese name should have not been trnaslated to Spanish, for God' sake !

Located in an unobtrusive park nestled between the Beautiful church and Palatial and Government buildings is this Memorial to the Explorer Ferdinand Magellan. Nice if you are there or in the area to visit the other sights or eateries.
