Ushuia is the southern most city in South America
The islands in the channel are covered with wildlife including seals, sea lions and sea birds. These look like penguins, but they are Shags and they fly.
Check out the female at the bottom just out of the water and crawling straight up these rocks
This is in the southern most park in South America.
The bay is lovely with the Patagonian mountains in the background
This is a lighthouse that was built in Sweden and shipped to Punta Arenas
This sheep farm reminded me of my childhood and my father. We had sheep and he always sheared them.

These are street dancers in a lovely little German inspired town outside of Puerto Montt
The water front area of Valparaiso is an UNESCO site because of the lovely old architecture. There are many buildings worth restoration but it doesn't appear to be happening. Too bad there isn't any maintenance either.
The museum of Easter Island artifacts was very well done. The docent was from Easter Island and she spoke of her island knowledgeably.
