The fickle weather continuous to startle and impress: it literally is sunny one moment, cloudy the next, and sudden snow drifts even at the peak of summer. This morning I arose to chilly climes and thick cloud cover; however as a few travelers had settled the night before to venture to Tierra del Fuego national park! it remained but formality to brave the cold? a short bus ride later and we arrived at the trailhead after obligatory entrance fees. An official postal outpost situated at the end of a small pier on the shore of the Beagle Bay marked the southern most post station. Inside, a jovial elderly man with mutton chops was more than happy to charge 10 Pesos to official stamp the multitudes of passing tourists with “Fin del Mundo” on their passports, complete with a photo of himself.
