Had a view of the town from a hill. Saw several museums one of which was more of an outdoor exhibit....old machinery. Read Less

Interesting walking tour with good guide. Many interesting homes and a nice town square. Read Less

We wandered around town, spent time enjoying Pan Pipe music in the town square and visited the Maritime Museum which was very interesting. Some of the places we'd planned to visit were closed until late afternoon but we found plenty to do until it was time to return to the ship. The waterfront area is worth a visit. Read Less

Tour consisted of two museums and a mausoleum so we didn't see much of the city. Tour guide difficult to understand. Not worth the money. Read Less

Had a long wait - over half an hour- for a shuttle bus to take us into the town centre. Good to walk round. Visited the cemetery and the Museum set up by Salesian missionaries. Read Less

Better than expected. We walked around & enjoyed it. Read Less

How often do you get to walk among the penguins? Incredible! Followed by a delicious lunch. Read Less

We chose an independent tour company to take us by airboat to the Magellanic penguin reserve island, Magdalena Island. The company provided a guide that was there to answer questions as we walked the circuit path to the lighthouse and back. It was fantastic! The sea was too rough to go on to see the sea lions.

city tour - including museum. Tour guide walked us through museum and gave us history of Puerto Arenas. Read Less

When there were penguins at Seno Ottway, this was a wonderful stop. However, mining activities are believed by some to have led to the penguins' departure three years ago. So now you just have a pleasant little market place to buy wonderful woolley clothes, and take advantage of the free Chilean Wi-fi. Read Less

Penguin trip may have been good. Didn't hear from anyone. The town was cold and drizzly so not much to see or do. We actually walked about 5-6 miles to the Magellan ship replicas. A mistake since it was too far. Read Less

We walked 4 blocks east along the Avenue beside the ocean in Puntarenas Chile. Then We walked 4 blocks east along the Avenue beside the ocean in Puntarenas Chile. Then we headed North along Monsenor Jose Fagneno Street before stopping in a souvenir shop that was open. Most stores are closed on Christmas Day. We bought a penguin fridge magnet. We continued walking uphill to Plaza Munoz Gamero where there is a monument honoring Ferdinard Magellan. I started looking for a toque as it is only 7C or 45F. Then we headed back to the Port of Entry. We took a couple of maritime clock pictures at the entrance. Once inside the port terminal we tried contacting more family to wish them a Merry Christmas because of the free Wi-Fi. Read Less

Very strong winds required 18 lines and 2 tugs to keep us up against the dock! From the dock you can catch buses into town. TIP: the buses are supposedly free, but we are not sure how frequently these free buses run, so instead we opted to pay $3 US per person to travel each way. Operators quote the prices in both Chilean pesos and US dollars, and seem happy to accept either currency. Walking in high winds can be difficult and we were really glad we had followed the layered clothing advice. Read Less

Free shuttle coaches from ship to town which was quite a way away, although we did spot a pedestrian path whcih seemed to go all the way. Nice little town and museum (although the main one was closed on the day we emabarked). Nice town square with lots going on and amazing weather (although cold in October). We walked to the viewpoint on top of the highest hill around where you could see good views of the sea and Zaandam. Read Less

Took local bus (need Chilian pesos) to Nao Victoria Museo where there replicas of Beagle, Shackleton's lifeboat from Antarctic, Ferdinand Magellan and others. Experience well worth effort. Read Less

Pleasant to walk around. The municipal cemetery was interesting. Read Less

Enjoyed this port. Lots of free museums. Cemetery worth a look. Taxi to open air nautical museum ~£10. Museum is pay entry, but has full size replica ships. Avoid the coffee! Read Less

Excursion canceled due to high winds. We negotiated with a van driver to take 9 of us for $10/each to see the Nao Victoria Museum. We also ate onshore at Sotito's restaurant, which is amazing! Read Less

We walked around the city - took many pictures - nice town with a long boulevard where several statues an monuments are located. Read Less
