Wir hatten eine bestätigte Buchung mit Ticket. Es war eine absolute Frechheit des Veranstalter zwei Tage vorher abzusagen. Mit einer Arroganz nimmt er Buchungen entgegen und storniert sie willkürlich. Man hat schließlich im Vorfeld in 5-stelliger Höhe eine Reise gebucht. Betrüger!!! Absolut abzuraten. Es sei denn sie wollen ihr Geld zum Fenster hinaus werfen.B7845FEryanf

Our guide Nicholas spoke great English and was incredibly helpful at answering questions and providing insights into the history of punta arenas and the surrounding area. At the top had panoramic views of the surrounding area for 80+ kilometers.danielvQ7848WF

Everything we got to see on this tour was very pretty. We were only in Punta Arenas for a short amount of time and were happy to have been able to see a few things around the town. Perfect if you’re looking for something to do during the day but not spend your entire day out!

The walk through the Magellanes Forest allowed us to see the native tree and plant species as well as planted species in the hills above Punta Arenas. We hiked about 2.5 miles to a lookout with a sweeping view of Puntas Arenas and the surrounding countryside. At Club Andino we rode the chairlift to the top for a commanding view of the city and countryside. The chairlift operators were very accommodating to make sure we were safe both boarding and de-boarding the two person chairlift at the top and at the bottom of the mountain on our return. Our guide Nicholas Varas was a wealth of information about the culture of Punta Arenas and about the flora and fauna during our walk. Nicholas shared his experience and life living in Punta Arenas, and showed us the main square as well as other points of interest when we returned to town. We enjoyed the views and the chance to walk through the Chilean forest. The driver was very experienced and kept us safe throughout the tour, which was limited to the four of us a small group. This excursion is not to be missed for those who enjoy the outdoors and walking.
