Patagonia2014

The beautiful monument at the entrance of the city is hard to miss and a must see before you leave Punta Arenas. Another memorial to Magellan which seems to be missed quite a bit by tourists and even some locals, is the Nao Victoria which is a life-size replica of Magellan's ship. It cost 3000.00 pesos to visit and actually get on the ship and see how it was like for Magellan and his crew to travel across the ocean. The ship is fully furnished as it would have been at that time, with its kitchen, dry meats, tables, desks, hammocks, and of course, Magellan's own bedroom.It's worth a visit, it really is something you'll never forget!

The central square with the Magellan monument is an interesting place to visit. The monument is worth a walk around and a closer inspection for its historical details. Trees in the square are beautiful, there are a number of vendors selling souvenirs at bargain prices. There are also a few more upper end souvenir stores just off the square that have some higher quality items.

Often viewed as a sea faring rival to that other well known explorer - Columbus, this Portuguese born voyager is credited with discovering a route into the Pacific Ocean which was named the 'Strait of Magellan' in his honour - also his ‘circumnavigation’ of the globe. It’s a controversial subject in the history books however; the Spaniards venerated him for his ’discoveries'.The monument sitting in Plaza Muñoz Gamero is a remote interpretation of the man.Magellan is at its pinnacle standing astride a canon with sword at his side, looking into the far distance out to sea. Below around the column beautiful sculptures of native men and a woman seem to us to be more impressive - kissing the foot of one is considered a source of good luck. If you are walking around the Plaza then you will certainly come across this popular and iconic monument in Chile’s most southern city.Enjoy your experience!

Memorial itself is ok but the surrounding area - small park surrounding it and shops selling local handicrafts, artifacts and the plaza is nice. We had gone there on a Sunday and were lucky to see a beautiful parade (couldn't figure out with our English what were they celeberating).

In the middle of the central plaza. There is an indian statue with a hanging leg that can be easily reached. It is kissed and touched by lots of tourist, therefore it has been polished by such caresses and shines. Reminds me of the statue of St, Peter Cathedral in Rome when one of the feet receives the same treatment.
