Its strategic location as a stopover point before heading to Antarctica has made Punta Arenas a must-visit destination for those seeking unique holiday experiences.

Check Your Clocks

Before you start your engines, remember that Chile operates at a different time zone to the UK. It uses CLT (Chile Standard Time) which is typically 4 hours behind GMT.

Drive on the Right

Unlike the UK, in Chile, vehicles drive on the right-hand side of the road. It’s a crucial thing to remember when driving, especially at roundabouts and intersections. Don’t worry, it might be different, but with a little concentration, you’ll adapt quickly.

Pick Your Car Wisely

The type of car you rent can significantly impact your driving experience. Compact cars are great for navigating city streets, while SUVs or 4x4s may be better for tackling more rugged terrain, especially if you’re planning a trip to Torres del Paine National Park.

Know the Traffic Rules

In Chile, traffic rules are strictly enforced. Seatbelts are mandatory for all passengers and drivers are not allowed to use mobile phones whilst driving. The legal blood alcohol limit is also lower than in the UK. Stay save and stay sober when driving.

Explore Prominent Attractions

Punta Arenas is home to several notable attractions, such as the Nao Victoria Museum, Magallanes Regional Museum, and the City Cemetery.

Park Smart

Most public parking areas in the city centre operate on a 'pay and display' system. Always remember to pay for your parking before you leave your vehicle. In residential areas, parking is typically free.

A Vibrant Neighbourhood – Barrio Prat

The Barrio Prat neighbourhood, characterised by colourful buildings and stunning architectural gems, is worth a visit. Go for a relaxing drive through this charming and vibrant neighbourhood.

The Climate

Punta Arenas has a cool-summer Mediterranean climate. It’s also notoriously windy, so pack a light jacket, even in summer.

Useful Tip: Currency

The official currency of Chile is the Chilean Peso (CLP). While credit cards are widely accepted, it's always a good idea to have some local currency for smaller establishments or in case of emergencies.
