Excursion Local asado experience tour at Punta Arenas

Discover the life and times of those who choose to make Punta Arenas their home during this visit to a local family's home and traditional BBQ. Magellanic hospitality still pervades local culture, undeterred (or perhaps nurtured by) nature's inhospitality, this city is remarkably relaxed and friendly.

Punta Arenas

Leave the pier and head for a short sightseeing drive of the city and to the observation point located at Cerro De La Cruz, where a short stop will be made to enjoy the wonderful panoramic view of the city and the Straits of Magellan. Afterwards, head to a local rural house to enjoy a Patagonian Asado.

Local Lunch

Upon arrival, share an aperitif and participate in the preparation of a Patagonian lamb barbecue while sharing with the hostesses and learning about the local culture, immigration stories and history of the region. Probably you will also learn the reason local people of Punta Arenas feel that they leave in an Independent Region, far from the rest of the country and even why they have their own flag. Enjoy a tasty home-made barbecue.

At agreed time, leave the house and head to the Main Plaza to have a look to the local monuments and also the chance to stroll at the small handicraft stalls before returning to the ship.
