Punta Arenas, Chile

12th April 2013, 5am start to the day catching the bus from Ushuaia to Punta Arenas a lot of which was on unpaved roads, 11 1/2 hours later including one boarder crossing and one ferry we arrived.

Punta Arenas is a nice seaside town undergoing a huge amount of development at present. Every where in the down town and sea front area is being invested in, new paving, statues, benches, road surfacing, it is a nice town anyway with lots of cafes, restaurants, museums and churches, it would be interesting to see it once all the improvements have been made.

We spent a day hiking to the Reserva Forestal Magallanes which is 8km from Punta Arenas, we were very lucky with the weather bright sunshine and not too much wind, then after leaving the reserve a friendly local offered us a lift back into town which was most gratefully accepted.
