This city has successfully marketed itself as 'fin del mundo', which means 'end of the world'. Of course, we know that the world doesn't have an end (unless you belong to the flat earth society), and you could make attempts to go further (Chile has land across the Beagle Channel and a town there), but this is where the road ends:- for us and countless other overlanders.
This is the place to be for Christmas if you are an overlander, lots of us are here and it makes for a kind of reunion of travellers met along the way. There seems to be a group forming at one of the campgrounds, but we don't want to be there until Christmas. At any rate there are other places near here to visit.
Between now and Christmas there is plenty of time and we are camped in the garden of some locals we met at Peninsula Valdes. The vehicle needs some work and so H has disassembled the front of the vehicle to remove some patches of rust. Mobile homes need maintenance and it is wonderful to have friends here with space and some tools.
Once the vehicle work is done we will do some travelling in the region: there's plenty to see. A popular excursion from here is a cruise to Antarctica and there are last minute deals, but it's not something that H or I are too concerned with doing. Instead we want to go to the National Park, and visit an estancia (ranch).
