Shopping in Southern Patagonia

  1. Ñandú Artesanía

    With shops all over town, Ñandú has crafts, postcards, local maps and any other tourist items that you may desire.

    The main thing to shop for in town is outdoor gear. There are a number of shops lining Arturo Prat, Manuel Bulnes and Eberhard; however, prices are higher here than larger towns, and you'll be better off picking up gear in Punta Arenas or in Argentina.

    Zona Franca

    The duty-free zone is a large, polished conglomeration of shops that is worth checking out if you’re looking for electronics, outdoor gear, computer accessories or camera equipment. Colectivos (shared taxis) shuttle back and forth from downtown along Av Bulnes throughout the day.

    Bories

    Punta Arenas is a great place to shop and stock up on everything, from electronics to hiking and camping gear. Bories is the main clothes shopping strip, with stores that sell casual street clothes and hardcore expedition gear. Some of the stores can be rather expensive.
