Punta Arenas


We are in Punta Arenas in the Patagonian region of Chile today. After sailing through the beautiful Magellan Straights with snow capped mountains it seems very flat here. We did a sightseeing tour with very few sights! We had to use a tender to get to the pier and it’s 11c and raining. Didn’t help that the first stop was a cemetery (with a statue of a man who had performed miracles, apparently) and the second an outdoor museum with relics from the pioneer days of European settlers. Actually quite interesting. Then it was the Maggiorino Borgatello Museum which was founded by Salesian missionaries. Last stop was to see a monument of Ferdinand Magellan in the main square.
