Description
We are a family that lives in Chile in the south of Tierra del Fuego on the shores of Lake Fagnano. We are surrounded by beautiful landscapes next to the Darwin mountain range. In the summer we work in tourism, renting cabins and we also work with a little sheep and chickens. The place is located 330 kilometers from the nearest city, which is Porvenir in Tierra del Fuego. It is a place isolated from civilization, it can only be accessed by land with a 10-hour trip from the city of Punta Arenas. It is a very cold place in winter, the average temperature is between -7 degrees Celcius and 7 degrees. It is a place of wild nature with a lot of flora and fauna. The heating is with wood. The place has a museum that tells the history of southern Tierra del Fuego.
