WALKING DOWN PUNTA ARENAS THE CAPITAL OF CHILEAN PATAGONIA - 4K - Part. 1

Punta Arenas is a commune, city and interoceanic port in the Southern Zone of Chile. It is the capital of the Province of Magallanes, of the Region of Magallanes and of the Chilean Antarctic and, unofficially, of the so-called Chilean Patagonia. It was founded by the Chilean military on December 18, 1848 as the main seat of the Territory of Magellan and as a penal colony. It is located in the area that British cartography had named Sandy Point, a place chosen for its easy access to fresh water and coal and from which its current name derives, specifically between the Río del Carbón (current Río de las Minas) to the north and the Río de la Mano to the south, under the slopes of Cerro de las Siembras (current Cerro de la Cruz), thus being located on the eastern coast of the Brunswick Peninsula, on the continental shore of the Strait of Magellan and a few kilometers from the Cape Froward, the southernmost point of the entire continental mass of America. The geographical location of the city makes it a strategic point, both politically and historically, touristically, geopolitically and economically. Along with Coyhaique, they are the only two regional capitals of Chile located east of the Andes Mountains, being the only regional capital of Chile that has sunrises by the sea and sunsets towards the mountain range. The city is projected as a global gateway to the Antarctic continent, since more than 15 countries use the city as a base port and at least 25 countries request its Antarctic services. Punta Arenas is located between the two largest freshwater reserves in the world, Antarctica and the Southern Ice Fields. #4K #TRAVEL #EXPLORING #NATURE #RELAX #chill #chillmusic #walking #travel #s22ultra,
