Punta Arenas is not a very large town compared to European standards, but it is the biggest one in Chilean Patagonia. It is the capital of the southernmost region of Chile, Magallanes and Antartica Chilena. It sits on the Magellan Straight.
The weather was rather warm, but with cool gusts - may be from the Antarctic, or from any of the nearest oceans. We found the town pure and green. Here there aren't many tourist signs, and the main one is a monument to Magellan in the center of town. Nearby is the cathedral of Punta Arenas and the grand cathedral of Maiden Maria Auxiliadora is not so far from it. We also visited an extremely interesting museum of Patagonia.
Thus our first step in Patagonia was made and our way back to the north began.
COSTA RICA a trip of a life time travelling round this beautiful country. All went like clockwork even when the weather was against us and all transfers seemed to be part of the holiday not a chore. Would definitely use Adventure Life again having previously used them 20 years ago!!

The travel specialists we've worked with for 2 vacations have made the trip planning process easy! They ask good questions to ensure they understand our goals and likes and have done an excellent job matching adventures with our preferences - even suggesting things we would not have thought about on our own!
