We drove there on a beautiful, clear day and spent a morning walking around near the water. Didn't take the tour, but it's fairly self-explanatory. Nice gift shop, too. Really lovely if you have the time.

The fort has replicas of the original buildings, quite bare. I think it'd be nice to have more visual explanations on how the people survived, the food, cooking etc. The paths from the fort to the look out are great! You can see the Straits of Magellen from many angles. Beautiful!

I guess that, as a historical site, it is worth visiting, although the fort is actually fake. The whole thing was built as a replica. The worst thing though is the INSANE entrance fee of 12000 CLP, equivalent to about 20 usd. Per person, that is!!! I mean, I know that many attractions in the area are expensive, but 12000 pesos to see a fake fort was really quite offputting. The guided tour was relatively good though, and te 40 minutes that takes are included in the 12000 pesos. Per person.

Fort Bulnes is the historic reconstruction of the earliest settlement by Europeans at the southern tip of South America. In good weather it offers beautiful views of the surrounding bays and islands. It is easy to access by a daily tour leaving from the park headquarters building on Av. Mayo about 100 meters north of Av. Independencia, very near the cruise ship tender dock. The park headquarters offers a 1030am tour of the Fort for 20,000CP (about 33 USD) including minibus and entry fee, or a combined city and fort tour at 900am for 30,000 CP (about 50 USD). Both tours return around 300pm. For more info see the park website www.phipa.cl and for reservations email reservas@patagoniahsa.com. The tour van, driver, and guide are top notch. A new visitor center at the fort is currently under construction, but the present visitor center, cafe, and bathrooms are already quite nice. I did this tour as a less crowded alternative to the usual penguin tours when I was on a recent Cape Horn cruise. I am glad I did it.

The fort and its museum is in very good conditions, interesting place to take a look and some photographs. The entrance fee is excessive for an average museum of this type.

We had our own vehicle which makes the trip easy and can be combined with some other important landmarks. The fOtt tells the story of the hardships faced by first settlers

In spite of the snow and wind we were given a profesional and thorough tour with friendly guide. Very well done restoration and explanations. Good for all ages.

Our tour to Fort Bulnes consisted of the two of us and our guide who also was the driver. We managed to learn a lot from him using a combination of Spanish and English. At the Fort itself, a guide gave us lots of information (in English) about the history of Fort Bulnes. We enjoyed walking on the trails.

An interesting place, indicating for one of the unsuccessful British colonizations of these so far lands.

Fort Bulnes is about an hour drive outside of Punta Arenas overlooking the Straits of Magellan. You won't find a more inhospitable piece of land. Climb up into the watch tower for a view over Tierra del Fuego. The fort is a sobering reminder of the extent to which nations went to claim territory, even in desolate places like this. As you drive back to Punta Arenas, keep an eye out for the numerous shipwrecks that line the coast.
