Then I took a morning bus to Puerto Natales, where I wanted to check in for the Navimag ferry &#8211; only to find that it was delayed by a day, and the ferry company hadn&#8217;t succeeded to inform me about it. I had already planned to spend a night here, but now I had a day and a half on my hands. This time I stayed at Yagan House, which costs a little more than Rio Tindal, but is well worth it for the nice staff, decoration and breakfast. In a local tour agency, I saw an offer for rock climbing at nearby Laguna Sofia. After some negotiation, the owner suggested he could organize a private half-day trip there. The next day I went to Laguna Sofia with the owner and one other guide, who helped set up top ropes where necessary. The climbing was a lot of fun, and the difficulty level was just right for me &#8211; some routes feasible, others a bit too hard. And the whole thing cost me about the same as an entrance to one of the big climbing halls in Switzerland, so I felt like it was well worth the money.<\/p>\n<p>This trip was also the first test for my new Sony DSC-H300, one of the few cameras I could find in Puerto Natales. I decided that I could use a decent zoom for the upcoming boat trip, so I bought this mediocre camera.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1568\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1568\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00018.JPG\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1568\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00018-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Great weather at Laguna Sofia\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00018-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00018-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00018-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1568\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Great weather at Laguna Sofia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00041-e1464624829660.JPG\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1570\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00041-e1464624829660-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"DSC00041\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00041-e1464624829660-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00041-e1464624829660-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00054-e1464624877537.JPG\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1572\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00054-e1464624877537-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"DSC00054\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00054-e1464624877537-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00054-e1464624877537-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00065.JPG\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1573\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00065-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"DSC00065\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00065-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00065-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awayfrom.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC00065-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MAR 2, 2016 &#8211; After my three-day trek near Ushuaia, I had spent a day in Punta Arenas, where I enjoyed some downtime and didn&#8217;t see much of the city.
