Top 10 Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers in Punta Arenas, Magallanes Region
Overlooking the Strait of Magellan, this isolated city in southern Patagonia bustles with windswept trekkers en route to glacier-filled Torres del Paine National Park or an Antarctic cruise. Before transiting, take note of the mansion-lined main square, Plaza Muñoz Gamero; the City Cemetery, with its elaborate tombs; and the Sara Braun Palace and Braun Menendez Residence, a preserved slice of the city's wealthy pioneer past. Daily flights connect the city with Santiago and Ushuaia.

Unlike more conventional expeditions to Antarctica which leave South America by ship and take two days each way to cross the roughest seas in the world, Antarctica21 flies you there in two hours, giving you more time on target and fewer hours of seasickness. But...it's a wilderness, not for the faint of heart or the casual tourist. You must be in good shape and prepared to walk significant distances on rough and sometimes hilly terrain. Seas can be rough even along the coast. There are no paved streets, no sidewalks, no docks. You walk about a mile to the beach, put on your flotation vest, and make your first beach extraction by Zodiac boat to go the ship. Each day there is a morning and afternoon excursion to a point of interest in Antarctica, which makes for a total of 14 beach landings and extractions by Zodiac over the course of the week. The ship is by no means spartan, but there are no shops, no night clubs, no theatres, no swimming pool, no casinos. There is a comfortable dining room, a comfortable lounge, and a comfortable meeting room that accommodates the roughly 70 passengers. Rooms are well appointed and service is good. The expedition crew is young, athletic, and enthusiastic. The focus is on the continent. Views are breathtaking. Zip among icebergs in a Zodiac, snowshoe up mountains, take the Polar Plunge in 0°C water or kayak in a warm-water volcanic caldera—it's all amazing. Photo opportunities are endless. This is an experience you will talk about for years.

The actual 32 hours crossing, navigating the southernmost stretch of the Americas, is a must, with stunning views and sailing the Beagle Canal and the ultra-remote outlaying islands. TABSA's service may not be a first class hotel, the 60 or so passengers (although a transportation service it unwittingly turned into a sort of tourist cruise), mostly, non-Chileans were joking that the included food service resembles a prison...A tray is handed and we all queued to be served with our portions...No selection, no top-ups, so please bring your own supplies for the extras. Having said that, the food is not bad, even if not stellar and the dinner on the second day (4 meals in total, 2 of which dinners...) had delicious empanadas! You will get very basic tea/coffee (no milk) free , not Starbucks but does the job. TABSA will tell you to pay cash 24 hours prior to embarkation yet when you do get a confirmation email (once you "applied" online) there will be a link to pay online with credit card! (if that makes your life easier. The ticket will then be emailed you, once payment completed. That may save paying cash. The cama service would cost CLP43000 extra with seats being full flat. The ferry has 2 showers, 5 toilets and there all clean! Crew is really helpful and great. The journey is not to be missed, and if lucky you may (as we did) see a whale or two, seals and countless islands and the Agostini national reserve. You would sail the southern coast of Tierra del Fuego and see Ushuaia, Argentina and the Chilean part, as well the rest of this amazing and remote part of Chile. If you can tolerate 32 hours in reasonable conditions make sure you do not miss it. Puerto Williams is not excited (maybe a daily trek or the 4 days big 31KM trek) yet you can get there by plane or ship and you may wish to explore the gravel road to Puerto Navarino. By far, the crème de la crème of the Chile trip, enjoy!
