'Will work for Food' works all right in Punta Arenas, but if you play an instrument, it's easier to busk.
no edit summary
Hitchhiking out of Punta Arenas may take you to a variety of very far off destinations, most notably in the north of Chile. Many semi truckers will be heading to [[Puerto Montt]], [[Santiago de Chile|Santiago]], or sometimes even [[Arica]], on the border of [[Peru]]. Most truckers will be taking the overland route through Argentina and re-enter Chile in [[Osorno]], though some take the Navimag Ferry from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt. This ferry is not free for hitchhikers, and will cost about $100.000 Chilean pesos (US$ 208).
== Squatting in Punta Arenas Sleeping ==
Punta Arenas is a very cold city, but if you arrive in the austral summer (November to early March) the weather can be quite nice, but very windy. A few good places to squat are:
* La Costanera (you can camp on the beach, and there are concrete structures to use as shelter from the wind)
In the wintertime, tempratures temperatures drop well below zero; you can take refuge in the local Hogar de Christo, located 1 block south of the Plaza.
== Food and money in Punta Arenas ==
Punta Arenas is a very good town for busking with any type of instrument.
