An Immersive Journey into the Heart of Southern History

How can you understand the magnitude of what your eyes behold without knowing the voices that once inhabited this landscape? At GreatChile, we invite you to explore the Strait Museum (Museo del Estrecho), a state-of-the-art facility designed and maintained by the Strait of Magellan Park. Located inside the Visitor Center, this space transforms history into a living experience and serves as the perfect complement to your journey through the area.

Here, the strait stops being just a geographical feature and reveals itself to you as an epic stage for survival, discovery, and cultural encounter.

Museographic Rooms: History Through the Senses

The museum's rooms are true portals to the past. Through a world-class multimedia and immersive proposal, you can travel through the timeline of this untamed territory. At GreatChile, we deeply value how this space successfully narrates:

  • The Heritage of Indigenous Peoples: The wisdom and resilience of ancestral cultures that navigated these waters thousands of years before any European expedition.

  • The Epic of Exploration: The challenges faced by sailors seeking this interoceanic passage and the complexities of colonization at the edge of the world.

  • Evolving Nature: A detailed look at how geology and climate have shaped the unique biodiversity we observe today.

Exhibition Gallery: An Encounter with Regional Heritage

The dialogue between humans and the landscape extends beyond history books. The museum features a Temporary Exhibition Gallery that we at GreatChile consider a must-see. This space, dedicated to art and culture, showcases rotating exhibits that resonate with the identity of the "end of the world."

It is the place where contemporary art, photography, and regional heritage meet, allowing you as a visitor to take home a much deeper and more reflective vision of the Magallanic identity.
