Dare to be you
There is that beautiful way to cross a border… A 22 km hike along the no man’s lands. Sure we’ll go that way!
So in El Chalten we take a bus to Lago del Desierto, where a small boat brings us to Punta Norte, the Argentine border at the other side of the lake. A perfect camping spot, so we set up our tent there, with great views over the lake.
After a 30 hour boat trip, with some whales in the channels and too few food in the cafeteria for 80 persons, we arrive in Punta Arenas. A thriving city near the Strait of Magellan. From here we have left the Isles at World’s end – Tierra del Fuego, Isla Navarino, Isla Hornos and numerous other ones.
For us the Punta is just a transport hub to the nearby Puerto Natales, from where we plan a trip in the immense famous ‘Parque Nacional de Torres del Paine’, where nearly 155000 tourists yearly pay tribute to the ‘Paine Towers’. A rock formation famous for it’s changing colours at sunrise.

Vandaag om 12u maken we de overtocht met de boot van Ushuaia in Argentinië naar Puerto Navarino in Chile en dan verder met een busje tot Puerto Williams op Isla Navarino. Blijkbaar kon men gisteren de overtocht niet maken door de hevige wind en zijn er vandaag dus meerdere overtochten. Wij vonden dat zeker geen probleem want zo konden we wat langer uitslapen en op ons gemak inkopen doen.
