Reception at Punta Arenas Airport .  Transfer to the city.  Time at leisure. Overnight @ Hotel Dreams 

Early  in the morning we start with this unparalleled adventure, after checking in, we head to Laredo Bay to board speedboats. This excursion begins through the waters of the mythical Strait, sailing the same route made by the brave explorers of the end of the world, such as, Sir Francis Drake, Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, Hernando de Magallanes and Charles Darwin, among others. The natural riches of this island invite us to admire an impressive spectacle of wild life. Magdalena Island was declared a National Park in August 1966 and re-classified as natural monument in 1982.  We navigate 45 minutes to Magdalena Island, where we  stay for 1 hour with our guide to know the natural hábitat. Depending on the luck we will be able to see Austral Dolphins and Toninas Overa. To protect wild life, Marta Island is only circumnavigated to admire and photograph the Colony and the diversity of marine birds that live there. However in Magdalena Island it is possible to disembark for about one hour, to walk and to interact with the colony.  We continue our tour to the lighthouse, from where we will have a great panoramic view of the island and surrounding areas. Return to your hotel in Punta Arenas. Due to weather conditions variation, itineraries and navigations may be changed, rescheduled or suspended.   Overnight @ Hotel Dreams

Breakfast @ hotel. In due time, pick up at your hotel to start the City Tour around Punta Arenas which is an unmissable experience. We will visit the main landmarks and attractions, which marked the development of the city, from its foundation to the current times. In its beginnings, Punta Arenas was linked to the development of the coal industry and the supply of ships, which crossed the Strait of Magellan. The second stage in the development of the city, was mainly associated to the rise of cattle ranching with the introduction of sheep brought from the Falkland Islands or Malvinas, which forged a great economic development, known as the “White Gold Era”. A legacy of those times ican be seen until today in the historic center of Punta Arenas, the architecture around the Plaza de Armas, where large palaces stand out with exuberant exterior decorative details and fine interior decoration. We end the visit with panoramic views of the city, to see the post modernism and current urban and social development of Punta Arenas. Return to the hotel.  Overnight @ Hotel Cabo de Hornos
