Punta-Arenas, Chile | photoreport

Punta Arenas - city , located right off the coast of the Gulf of Magellan . The city is beautiful, but for some reason with him not to ask. He met with clouds and strong wind , although you can expect from the city at this location. Ushuaia cover the mountains , and here ...

Hotel Montecarlo creaked all that is possible . Generally, all superimposed and slightly spoiled the experience .

Basically, the city is used for one purpose - to call on the island and look at Magdalleny megalanskih penguins. The island is located not so far , but slow ferry carries 100 to 300 people as much as 2:00 . Read more about the island , click here.

Was a Saturday and nothing really worked , so even eat once failed. On the street did not want to go , but had to .

As I understand it , for local , so the wind was not too common - they are so very much dodging .

Basically, the city is very civilized and quite large by local standards .

[My new travel-video]

As I already wrote , the city can progulnutsya all. Especially there is nothing exotic , although the birds walked on the waterfront , very similar to penguins , I do not know, maybe it was they.

But already morning in Punta Arenas. Quite another thing , sorry that there was no time and had to rush to the ferries to the island of Maddalena .

This city gives the impression of quiet and cozy seaside town. There are no high buildings, which cover the sun and sky. Of course, he's a bit grim, though it may simply was an overcast day, and the mood of the photographer was the same. I would not go to this city, as it only brings sad thoughts, and travel must take place on a fun positive note. This little town neuhozhen, though streets cleaned, but not enough updates. I do not think that the municipality has no money for a crosswalk or to arrange a convenient parking for cars or compel their owners to build garages. Since in a huge number of machines that make the city a large parking lot to look at. The ferry is not very fast, can be so conceived, so that you can admire the surroundings. Penguins is for what you can endure this trip.

I liked this modest, clean and cozy town and although there are no skyscrapers and elegant buildings he looks great thanks to the comfort, its location near the water and amazing clean streets. Not one photo I have not seen the slightest waste, there is no bottles, no package, no paper and nothing else. I'm still in my life but have never visited such places and is already used to the fact that even arrived on the nature you see a lot of garbage left by previous travelers. With great pleasure we would have lived there for several months and if you would have liked it then I would try to move there. Always wanted to live closer to the sea or ocean and then my dream would come true. And it seems to me the cost of housing there should not be expensive, both in large cities, where property prices are astronomical. I also noticed that everything poles, signs and other vertical installation are not exactly roll to the ground, that is perpendicular to the surface of the earth, and that the eye has become accustomed to the bevel or inclination stakes in many different places. Another big plus is the lack of traffic jams, which are eternal associates of large cities and in the day they sometimes have to sit for over an hour and a month recruited a whole day or more.

Name of the country had heard and knew that she is somewhere in South America, imagined backward, which is full of crime and to be honest not very developed nation. But seeing pictures realized that my idea is fundamentally wrong, look at the cleanliness of the streets, all cozy and ennobled. This place can only live cultured people and obviously here does not smell criminal groups because of which it would be dangerous to walk the streets. This city is remarkable also for its location, it is located on the beach, with a wonderful view of the water, which probably a lot of tasty fish swims. So in this city national cuisine is closely associated with seafood, which are not only tasty, but also beneficial to health. When selecting a location for tours, then on this continent is one of the most successful places thanks to its peace and quiet. A security issue on this continent plays an important role, as in other countries in large metropolitan areas there are areas where not even the police comes around once again. Here I think you can safely and have a good time without worrying for their lives, citizens are usually in such places are friendly.

And for me, because the town is very cute and comfortable. Judging from the photos, the residents there are not very many, or all of them are not willing to walk in the street, and prefer to sit in their cozy houses. It is evident that the town is clean, not a lot of cars, lights are on every street, so no problems with lighting, though in appearance it seems a bit gloomy town. Surely in this town live mostly fishermen, since the house is not very rich, there are no high-rise buildings. But still, the view from the window on the big water is impressive. Embankment, albeit in a terrible state, but it seems to be complements the whole atmosphere of the city and is its integral part. Especially on her so freely settled gulls that disturb their repair work would be at least unfair. Since this is their usual habitat. It is evident that this place they know and love. By the way, the road than - that remind our Russian, too, all patched and crannies, so that this city that we have - in common! I was also impressed that all the colorful houses, the roofs are all different, not what we have, if the fence is - blue, if the roof, then - red. Personally, I would gladly visited the Chilean town. Especially together with your loved one, as the situation there is quite romantic!

Despite the fact that almost all the pictures were taken on a cloudy day, Punta Arenas looks bleak. Quite simpotichny seaside town, where there is no crowds and very clean. I think that the weather is sunny town looks just wonderful. Although sunny days in Punta Arenas is significantly less than the cloud and rainy. But the fact that there is nothing special to watch and do not agree. In Punta Arenas is the world's only ski resort - Cerro Mirador, offering a panoramic view of the city and sea views. I can imagine how beautiful it is. A sort of two in one holiday: ski and ride, and bought into the sea. Also noteworthy museum Magellan (mansion Menedez) Salesian Museum, where you can get acquainted with the culture of the indigenous inhabitants of this area of Chile and Fort Bulnes, which is a historical reconstruction of the ancient fort of the first Spanish settlers. But for thrill-seekers can visit the municipal cemetery of Punta Arenas named Sarah Brown. It looks like a miniature town. On site there is the tomb of the Unknown Indians, who, according to legends, fulfills the desires of asylum. But I, for example, the cemetery in principle do not like. So Punta Arenas is not so simple town as it seems at first glance.
