Punta Arenas (or Sandy Point in English) is the capital city of Chile's southernmost region, Magallanes and Antartica Chilena. The city was officially renamed as Magallanes in 1927, but in 1938 it was changed back to "Punta Arenas". It is the largest city south of the 46th parallel south. As of 1977 Punta Arenas has been one of only two free ports in Chile.
Located on the Brunswick Peninsula north of the Strait of Magellan, Punta Arenas has all kind of facilities, in particular an abundance of banks, shops, supermarkets, pharmacies, hiking gear shops, a mall and a duty free zone called "Zona Franca".
Natalie is nothing short of reliable, thorough and professional. Since 2009, she has organized my travels, assisting me in seeing over 15 countries. Most recently, she planned a Safari in Kenya and Tanzania for my Father and I. She is incredibly prompt with communications, and manages to anticipate my questions before I ask them. She's a wealth of knowledge, offering tips, tricks, do's and don'ts and ensures you have all prerequisites like vaccinations, VISAs, and all paperwork prior to departure. All things she diligently researches so that you can simply enjoy. My brother has used her to travel to Italy/Spain and most recently, a best friend for her destination wedding in 2019. They were so happy to have had her at the helm. I have future travel plans, and will without doubt make sure she's part of
them. If you're planning on travelling in any capacity, and you're nervous or don't want to book things alone, get Natalie Schillberg on your speed dial. You will be thankful you have her.
