Family sceneThere was a long layover in Santiago, which was fine since long lines were encountered to pay the reciprocal entry tax and to go through customs.
During the flight to Punta Arenas I had my first encounter with Chilean hospitality. The couple sitting next to me were locals who very much welcomed me to their beloved Patagonia. They traveled quite a lot and noted this was their first landing at Punta Arenas without high winds. Maybe a good omen!
It had been a long trip and it may be surprising that there is a 5-hour time difference from the West coast. But the Hotel Rey Don Felipe was very comfortable. Before finally settling in, I bought a nice Malbec at a nearby grocery. Chile is noted for its wine, so I wanted to get a good start.
This is at least the fifth trip we have booked with AdventureLife. Jess has always had excellent ideas.

Kassandra rocks! She had our trip planned and helped us arrange our air travel within the day we contacted her. She has helped us with our trips to Chile Argentina and Costa Rica, and she always finds us wonderful activities and accommodations. We’re looking forward to seeing what she’s planning for us this time when we go to Easter island
