    Montevideo, Uruguay
    • Montevideo, Uruguay
    Montevideo enjoys a scenic setting on La Plata River. The Portuguese were the first to settle here, seeking a strategic advantage near open ocean. But Spain, already having established Buenos Aires nearby, expelled them in 1724. This was the beginning of the golden era of Montevideo's Ciudad Vieja, or Old City: within its walls, some of the most impressive colonial-era buildings were built, from the Legislative Council building to the stunning Montevideo Metropolitan Cathedral. The wall has long since disappeared, but the character of old Montevideo remains. ...

    Puerto Madryn is Argentina's second-largest fishing port. In the mid-19th century, the Argentine government encouraged European emigration to remote Patagonian territories. But the heritage of the original immigrants lives on in the region's distinctive windmills and chapels. Several towns have retained their Welsh names; Puerto Madryn was named for the estate of Sir Love Jones-Parry, one of the colony's founders. Today, the city is the gateway to the scenic Peninsula Valdes, an important nature reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site. ...

    Punta Arenas, Chile
    • Punta Arenas, Chile
    Punta Arenas was founded as a penal colony by Chile in 1848.

Settlers followed, searching for newly discovered gold and establishing vast swaths of sheep farms locally and throughout the surrounding region.

This massive glacier skirts the northern rise of the Reclus volcano located behind it, slowly eroding the hulking mound's slopes. Amalia's ice floe journeyed here millennia ago from the heights of the Andes-a fractional segment of one of the world's largest continuous ice fields, the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.

    Chile's modern capital of Santiago is one of the largest cities in the Americas. Its impressive neoclassical, Neo-Gothic, art deco, and other architecture spans several centuries. Santiago's gateway, Valparaiso, is often compared to San Francisco for its many cerros, or hills. The city prospered as a major port until the opening of the Panama Canal reduced its importance. Quaint Victorian-era architecture recalling its 19th-century affluence and steeply sloped barrios are linked by ascensores, or funiculars, and winding byways. From Los Cerros, the views are spectacular. ...
