The name "Punta Arenas" is of british origin. The british navigators called that place "Sandy Point", and the city was founded in that place and kept that name but in its spanish version.

[@WyattandReyka]

Makes sense! It’s very sandy haha. We didn’t know it was named by the British though! 🥰

[@Demoesceptico2]

@@WyattandReyka Yes, "Punta Arenas" means "Sandy Point". This is the name of the city in the english version.

[@WyattandReyka]

Yup! 🥰

[@Selijot]

Así es, en realidad casi todos los lugares del extremo sur de Chile llevan nombres ingleses ya que fueron expediciones británicas las que exploraron esos lugares

[@WyattandReyka]

Ah tiene sentido! Como el viaje de Darwin, no? Con el beagle.

[@juanpallautapulido200]

In Chile we really love bread, Hallulla is a kind of bread very common in Chile, I recomemd you try the Marraqueta ( he most popular kind of bread).

[@WyattandReyka]

Totally get why y'all like bread! Because yours is so good! We chowed all those hallullas and they were delicious. Thanks for watching our little video! :) We'll definitely try Marraqueta soon!!

That character is an indigenous man dressed up for the ceremony of the Kloketen, where boys were recognized as adult men.

[@WyattandReyka]

Oh that's so cool!! You're talking about the character in front of the store? 🤔

[@panasea1507]

Yes, that one, its a pretty interesting story, the men would dress as these "gods" and when a man came of age they will kidnap him and make him go through test and then they reveal that they (the mature men) are the gods and then he became one of them, this is only for men becaude in past times when women knew this they would abuse their power so men slaughtered all the women that knew this and keep the secret between men. This is more or less the story according to what i know.

[@WyattandReyka]

So interesting! We had no idea that character had such a. Rich history 🥰

[@raulsimon2218]

Thank you, guys. I see that the town has improved a lot since I lived there, back in the 1980's.

[@WyattandReyka]

That’s awesome that you lived there!! Punta arenas would definitely be a fun place to live for a long time! 🥰

[@Sandiasinmayo]

We can grow potatoes all arround Chile, but it is popular on the South because is a really caloric food and works with the cold on South ❤

[@WyattandReyka]

Makes sense! Yeah there are mountains throughout Chile where potatoes would grow easily. And the food in punta arenas was super good 🥰

Punta Arenas is the Continental "End of the World" and Puerto Williams is the "End of the World" in Tierra del Fuego (South) southernmost than ushuaia ("North"). "Chile" means "the end of the world" in 4 precolombine lenguages in quechua aymara in mapudungún means "the place when the world ends" for the inca Empire and Spanish Empire Chile was also "The end of the world" and southermost country. Historically, Geographically, Oceanographically, culturally and even literally it is our main identity. #ChileConfínDelMundo #PuntaArenas #PuertoWilliams

[@WyattandReyka]

That’s so neat! Thanks for the cool info. We loved Chile and really enjoyed exploring it 🥰

[@francesca528]

You should have tried pastrys in Punta Arenas and visit the cemetery and the local market where you can try a lot of seafood products. Also in Punta Arenas you can take day trips to see penguins

[@WyattandReyka]

We will do all those next time!! We didn’t want to pay for penguins in Chile because tours are expensive, but definitely will visit the cemetery next time! 🥰

You guys give out amazing vibes, I am glad you visited! Next time I advice you to try "Completos Italianos" (Chilean Hot Dogs that have avocado on them) and here the most common type of empanadas are "Empanadas de Pino", both of them are delicious.

[@WyattandReyka]

You are so nice!! :) Thank you so much. We loved exploring Punta Arenas. It's a really fun city! And we will definitely try out Empanadas de Pino! 🤗

The "character that they have for these certain tourist shops" (10:02) comes from a famous 1923 photo of an indigenous man in body decoration personifying a spirit from the mythology of the Selk'nam people, who sadly are also famous for the genocide they suffered during the gold rush in Tierra del Fuego in the late 19th and early 20th century.

[@WyattandReyka]

Super interesting! Thanks for explaining that. We really loved punta arenas

[@gonzalomatuspardo5137]

​@@WyattandReyka investigates the genocide of the Selknam people. In the movie LOS COLONOS an American state appears. greetings from Chile.

[@WyattandReyka]

We should look up that movie! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Beaumiroir]

I'm going to be there just after new year and I'm so excited! I saw my hotel in this video, lol! One thing I want to do is drive South to visit Fuerte Bulnes and walk to the San Isidro lighthouse.

[@WyattandReyka]

That’s amazing!!! Hope you have an amazing trip. Definitely visit that lighthouse! And try to make it to puerto natales too! Some amazing hiking up there. Unfortunately we didn’t go but we’re going to try to next time! 🥰

[@ignaciosimunovic13]

Something interesting that is never seen in videos of Punta Arenas, and I would assume it's due to the lack of evident Yugoslavic elements regarding its architecture, perhaps except for the main graveyard, is that a huge percentage of Puntarenenses trace their origins back to Croatia, most specifically the geographical region of Dalmatia, and you can still get to experience part of that culture right in Punta Arenas in family social gatherings, folkloric staged performances, and tasting their culinary inheritance; I recommend trying a pastry called hrstole or kroštule. Now, I wanted to bring a controversial topic to the table regarding the native people and their barely acknowledged genocide, but felt like it's out of place, so inform me if you want to hear what I have to say Živjeli!

[@WyattandReyka]

Had no idea that’s so interesting!!! Why did so many Croatians migrate there? Seems so random haha

Great version, but, Punta Arenas es la ciudad del paso hacia el océano pacífico, antes que se construyera el canal de Panamá. El siglo pasado, el gobierno chileno, permitió el ingreso de personas de Yugoeslavia, por lo tanto, hoy, hay muchas personas con apellidos croatas que han contribuido a desarrollar la zona más extrema del sur de Chile.

Did Magellan discover the Strait of Magellan, or was he the first European to come to it? Wikipedia lists the Kawésqar, the Tehuelche, the Selk'nam, and the Yaghan people as living in this region for centuries.

[@WyattandReyka]

Fair point! He definitely wasn’t the first one. Forgive our Euro-centric lens that occasionally pops up haha

[@jeankanengoni9354]

@@WyattandReyka, I understand. You are not alone; colonialism did the same for some of us. I am from Zimbabwe, and we grew up learning and believing David Livingstone discovered Victoria Falls. It was years before we Zimbabweans started acknowledging that our fellow country people, the Lozi and the Tonga, were already living there before David Livingstone first saw it. They had already named it Mosi-oa-Tunya, "The Smoke that Thunders."

[@WyattandReyka]

That’s so cool you are from Zimbabwe! And definitely good to acknowledge the truth that Europeans didn’t really “discover” much of anything! Indigenous people were already pretty much everywhere lol
