Chile is a fascinating country, with a more diverse landscape than anywhere else in South America. There is something for everyone. We only had two weeks and we wanted to visit Tierra del Fuego. It is divided almost equally between Chile and Argentina. |
|  | Which way from here First of all we had to get to Punta Arenas on the southern tip of Chile. It faces Tierra del Fuego on the Magellan Strait. We took a ferry from there to Povenir, the main town on the Chilean side. It is very difficult to find your way south from there so we were glad that we had a car and driver. |
| | Gone fishing The area is mostly uninhabited and it is a great way to get away from it all. We saw old gold fields, small villages, beaver valley, large lakes, mountains, and Patagonian Guanaco, a member of the llama family. |

Excellent overview of this South American country with superb restaurants, hotels and accommodations tips! Watching guanaco and penguins sound wonderful to us. The sunset, lake and mountain scenery certainly look amazing! ~ho & pang | angelalu Sun Jul 20, 2008 14:07 UTC

Such a grand trip. Love photos of the "guanaco"., penguins, & all info about the rainbow trout--copied & sent info to Allan's fishing buddy. Excellent restaurant & hotel tips. Eating at 9 or later sounds like Spain. I love visiting cemeteries. Super job. | sourbugger Mon Jan 7, 2008 00:15 UTC
