Punta Arenas

The following morning (3 April) we arrived into Punta Arenas, a coastal city in Chile. Unfortunately we were a few days short of the season to see Magellanic penguins on Isla Magdalena – the children were pretty disappointed but we were committed to chasing them down elsewhere.

Instead we had a leisurely stroll around the small city visiting a viewpoint, the plaza, several monuments and a detour for hot chocolate and cake! It felt good to stretch our legs and see some sights before being on the cruise for 3 days at sea.Les mer
