Introduction
The Magellan Monument stands in central Punta Arenas, a bronze statue of Ferdinand Magellan surrounded by figures of indigenous people and sea creatures, commemorating the first circumnavigation of the globe. A local legend says the 'Unknown Traveler' blesses passers-by, and residents rub the statue's foot for luck. Colonial buildings and palm trees frame the city's classic postcard — the first stop to meet Patagonia's gateway.At dusk the lamplight stretches the statue's shadow long across the plaza.
