Punta Arenas Southern most city of Chile

Chile's most southern city Punta Arenas
Town centre Plaza
This house used to be Sarah Braun's

If you touch this statue's toe, you will come back here again.
No wonder his toe has been polished so much!
Ah! penguin is here !
Iglesia(church)

Park in the plaza was full of stalls selling local arts and crafts
We formed a group of 8 tourists around the plaza and hired a van to see penguin colony
After 1 hour drive from the port, we arrived in this remote farm land on the beach to see these adorable Magelan penguins
It was very cold but penguins seem to enjoy the harsh weather?
Viewing stand
Penguins on the beach can be seen behind the stand
There are about 800 penquins live here for 6 months and leave to elewhere around March but come back to the same burrow
These are baby penguins
Penguins parade.
In front of their burrow.
Bye honey!
I am off to work.
Public cemetry donated by local manor Sarah Braun

Beautifully maintained cyprus trees on the cemetry

These are tombs !
City view from the Cross Hill

This little cafe has the best view in town and the sign on the hoist says Seoul is more than 15,000km from here!
