Ok John,
Some people don't love Punta Arenas and the surroundings other do, so
e -:), did you go to Cabo San Isdro, the Laguna Parrilar, have a walk in
the Reserva Forestal Magallanes o even spend an afternoon with the fishermen
in Puerto Hambre?
Very often our views on things and places are influenced by personal and
human experiences and even if our opinions are different they might be
interesting for other people. You surely won't understand that we've been 4
times in Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales, the Parque Torres del Paine, and two
times in Calafate and Chalten, with the backgound of his history and his
scenic beauties Patagonia is for us one of the most fascinating regions in
the world
I aggree with the Calafate suggestion, although the roudtrip would be around
720 km departing from Puerto Natales. So in order to make the most of it, it
would be good to spent a night in Calafate.
