My tent after a long day of hiking! I have heard that Puerto Natales has a lively nightlife for a small town, but I arrived too late on my way in to check it out. Punta Arenas is a larger city (pop. 100,000) with more options, but again, my return trip was late. Not much nightlife on this trip for me. This photo is of Punta Arenas from my hotel (Finis Terrae) and you can see the Magellan Strait in the background. Punta Arenas was once a thriving port until the Panama Canal opened and now it is involved mostly in petroleum and tourism.
