Tierra del Fuego, southern Chile

A brief visit to a remote island whose name has, for many, long seemed synonymous with remoteness. Actually, Tierra del Fuego, which is split between Chile and Argentina, is quite readily accessible by road and car ferry from mainland Patagonia - weather permitting.

Appearances can deceive... actually, a very well-appointed guesthouse	Rough 'n' ready	Almost, if not quite, derelict
A cluster of typical Porvenir dwellings	Club for discerning gentlemen	Lago de los Cisnes, a reserve for wild swans
Old gods and new...	Car ferry service to the Patagonian mainland
