Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Your beer tour of Punta Arenas starts at the city’s main square where you will meet your local guide. From here we’ll take a scenic walk through the colonial area of Punta Arenas to Austral Brewery, the oldest brewery in Punta Arenas and one of the most popular in Chile.
Once at the brewery, we will take a tour of the facilities and learn all about the beer-making make the process, from the selection of malted barley to bottling, as well as the history behind the barley to bottle process.
After this dose of beer-making facts and history, it will be time for the best part: tasting! At the showroom, we will have the honor of tasting all the beers that the factory produces (7 types) and choose our favorite. Following our tour and tasting, we will take a private car or van to get to our next stop, which (naturally) includes more beer.
Our second beer stop is an authentic local bar where you’ll have the chance to sip among locals, learning more about the people of Punta Arenas and how they like to socialize.
At the bar you will have the chance to enjoy 3 types of local craft beer and taste the differences between the industrial beer we tired earlier and artisanal beer, both made with the purest water on the planet.
The tour will end at the bar. Feel free to stay as long as you want, or your local guide can direct you back to your accommodations or other great places to drink in the city.
