In the 1980's, the exploitation of one of the world's most important hydrocarbon reserve enabled the spectacular development of the petrochemical industry, dividing Punta Arenas between industry and tourism. Punta Arenas offers many hostels, usually conveniently located around the city center. The city, like all spanish influenced settlements, is built around its main square, the "Plaza de Armas" and its imposing monument of Fernando de Magallanes looking towards the strait.
