Punta mydryn stop over

This shore excursion tour was just a few hours. The guide spent most of the time visiting the museum explaining about the history of the place. A stop to see the scenic view of the town that over looks the Magellan straits, Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean meets. This is town to start seeing Patagonia of Chile. Many stop here for this purposes.
