27th Dec 10 - Punta Arenas, Chile and trekking at Club Andino

Club Andino is a ski resort close to Punta Arenas. As it's summer, we took the chairlift up and walked back through the woods. A bit of exercise to wear off the indulgences of the last few weeks. It was very cold though - mainly due to the wind.

Punta Arenas lies in the Straits of Magellan between Chile and Tierra del Fuego

The chairlift was very cold

Fabulous views across the Straits of Magellan from the top

Elizabeth with her multiple layers of clothing to keep warm!

Lovely walk down through the woods

The hot chocolate when we reached the bottom was much appreciated!
