Nanuc is the reference bakery in Punta Arenas, and its facturas - laminated pastries with cream, dulce de leche, or coconut fillings - are the reason why. The dough is airy and properly worked, the kind that generates the sort of enthusiasm that sends people back the next morning. Empanadas and medialunas round out a window display that seduces from the sidewalk. The staff is warm, and freshness is consistent. Two things require strategy: the most popular items sell out before noon, so arrive early; and on certain empanadas, the filling doesn't always live up to its name. That said, the balance is decisively positive, and skipping the facturas in Punta Arenas would be hard to justify.
