How to get in Punta Arenas
There is an international airport on the outskirts of the city with numerous connections to Puerto Montt and Santiago. Planes are met by taxis and transfer buses making it easy to transfer to downtown Punta Arenas, except during regional strikes when it may be necessary to walk 26 km to the centre of the city.
Buses run daily from Puerto Natales as well as Rio Gallegos, Argentina.
There are frequent buses from Ushuaia, Argentina, that will take you to the city in about 11 hours. The trip has interesting scenery and is far less costly than flying: the flight from Ushuaia to Punta Arenas is overpriced mainly because of its "international flight" designation.
Punta Arenas is famous for its many frequent strikes, which often interfere with transportation and prevent the arrival of materials.
