Arrivals, Transfers & Transport

Introduction

Punta Arenas is situated beside the Magallanes Strait, several thousand kilometres south from Santiago. It is not connected by road through Chile – one has to go via Argentina if driving.

Consequently, the only way to get to Punta Arenas is by flying from Santiago; by ship from Argentina; by road from El Calafate and Puerto Natales; by flight or ferry from Puerto Williams.
