Chile, Punta Arenas

Isla Magdalena - Penguin Colony


Across the Magellan Strait in Southern Patagonia we crossed rough seas to get to the Magdalena Island, home to more than 150,000 penguins.


FREEZING.

Sea lion colony.




In Chile they forcefully ensure you leave a tip, despite the service being poor in comparison to the rest of South America.

La Luna, the only decent restaurant in Punta Arenas. The elaborate seafood menu was a huge change from the nasty local fast food.

Erratic Rock, the family run hostel in down town seedy Punta Arenas where we stayed for two nights before flying to Santiago.
