Punta Areanas is where i was born and is the last see before the Antactic. Over here is very cold so u should only bring warm clothing but its worth coming here u cn go to sightseeing to the antactic glacier and what time animal live there. Here you interact with lots local and the food is great.

Efectivamente el toque europeo se nota. Pero aún mas, se nota el lento tiempo de provincia que inunda sus calles, donde almorzar fuera de hora es un imposible.
