Porvenir is a city in Tierra del Fuego Province, in the Magallanes and Antartica Chilena Region of Chile. It covers 6,982.6 sq km (2,696 sq mi) and has a population of 6,000 people (2012 estimate). It is the southernmost town in Chile, even further south than Punta Arenas.

Porvenir today is a small town. It was established for sheep farming. The port is littered with shipwrecks that prevent large vessels from mooring. Gold and oil are also mined in the vicinity. In addition, tourists often pass through the town, on their way further south. As it is smaller than Punta Arenas, Porvenir is used mostly as a stopover point.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
