My experience in Punta Arenas

The truth is, before going there, I had a boring image of the city, I thought it would be like any other port or coastal city in Chile, with sea lions and that it would be raining every day. When my parents told me that they wanted to go there to know, I refused because I had another idea of ​​my vacation, but I started to investigate to find interesting things to see.

One of the important "attractions" that this city has is the trip to Isla Magdalena, where the Magellanic penguins reside. To get there you must hire a ferry tour from a tourist agency and sail for two hours to get there. With my family we decided to plan the trip, to get to know as many places as we could, including the penguins.

Contrary to what I thought, I found a very welcoming city with unbelievable landscapes. The first thing we did was go to the cemetery, which I dare say is the most beautiful in Chile, and then visit the ZonAustral where things were supposed to be sold free of tax (we didn't catch anything). The next day we headed to a little known National Park, called Prque Nacional Pali Aike, where we found a lunar landscape formed by the volcanoes that are found there. We also toured Fuerte Bulnes and tried to reach the Faro San Isidro , the last on the continent, but without success. On the fourth day we went to see the penguins at 7 in the morning and on the trip we met very nice people from many parts of the world, we also saw dolphins and sea lions.

On the trip we met many animals that only inhabit that area of ​​the country, we learned about the history of the Selknam and the genocide they suffered, about Sara Braun and the rumors about her, we ate the famous "choriquesos" with bananas and milk from the Kiosco Roca and we challenge the Magellanic wind.
