This national monument is an enormous rock, standing 110 meters high and paying tribute to the Chilean military victories in the 19th Century Pacific War.

The walk up the Morro isn't as far as it looks. The first bit is steep but the second bit is fine. We didn't go into the museum as it isn't our thing. There are lots of things to see without going into the museum though. There are lots of information plates which are bilingual. The Redeemer statue is fascinating as is the tomb for an unknown soldier and the flag! You must have your photo taken with the flag just to show how big it is! A good photo is when the small and large falf are blowing in the same direction. The views of the port and the city are well worth the walk - you will have earned a beer or a coffee when you are back down!

Always wanted to visit Easter Island! Didn’t quite get there yet but was very thrilled to see a genuine Moai statue! I even have a replica of one in front of my house. Now I am going to plan a trip to visit Easter Island soon.

We took buses 301 and 302 to and from Reñaca. It’s a great sight: lots of waterfowl against a background of the Pacific smashing against multicolored boulders in one direction and the towering dunes of Con Con in the other direction. Well worth a stop on the coastal road between Reñaca and Con Con.
8. Plaza de la Soberania
9. Hito de la Mitad De Chile

Reviewed By 716sachink - Plainview, United States
This monument is located approximately mid way between the northern part of Chile and the South Pole. Easily accessible when driving towards Fort Bulnes from Punta Arenas, it is worth a photo stop, for it’s significant geographical location.
