Explore one of the most important historical sites in Chilean Patagonia, next to the legendary Strait of Magellan.
Description
Discover one of the most emblematic places in the history of world exploration and navigation by visiting the Strait Park and Fort Bulnes, located on the shores of the legendary Strait of Magellan.
