Today started with an early morning transfer to the airport for a Flight to Punta Arenas, in the southwestern tip of Chile, the jumping off point to the rugged landscape of Patagonia. Our first stop was a view of the Strait of Magellan. Along the way to our overnight in Puerto Natales we stopped at Cerro Negro Ranch for a traditional lamb barbecue lunch. After lunch we watched sheep shearing and a demonstration of herding by a sheep dog. We then headed to our hotel arriving in the late evening to see our first views of Patagonian snowcapped mountains.
