Punta Arenas

Chile


Punta Arenas is the largest city of the Magallanes region in southern Chile. Its proximity to important natural landmarks is catapulting the city into an important tourist hub. It is also the world’s principal entry point to Antarctica for both scientific and touristic purposes. 

Punta Arenas is interested in achieving sustainability, partly by promoting cycling as a strategy to reduce car-dependency. The city also seeks to reduce urban sprawl while protecting natural areas.
