HOP is Patagonia Hop’s timed city loop, designed specifically for cruise passengers visiting Punta Arenas. It is a great intro to Punta Arenas when short on time
HOP is the only sightseeing loop in Punta Arenas created exclusively for cruise passengers. Unlike traditional all-day hop-on hop-off buses, HOP operates as a timed city loop, allowing passengers to step off at any stop on the route, explore at their own pace, and rejoin later if time and seating allow—all with a guaranteed return to port.
Passengers may step off at any stop along the route. Reboarding is possible later depending on timing, traffic, and seat availability. One full loop takes approximately 2 hours.
