Magellanic penguins of Magdalena island

The Magdalena island and Magellanic penguins

A stage of a journey in the far southern Chilean Patagonia is the hike in the small Magdalena Island, a nature reserve. The island has a length of 2 km and a maximum width of 500 metres.  Is in the middle of the Strait of Magellan and is located about 30 km northeast of Punta Arenas, the main centre of the region and base for exploring the area. The island is uninhabited, but the absence of people is matched by the presence of some 65,000 pairs of Magellanic penguins, which makes the island one of the largest animal colonies of Chile and South America. In addition to penguins Isla Magdalena hosts cormorants and several other species of Antarctic origin.  You can get there by boat from the town of Punta Arenas. The tours last for half a day to visit the island, where we walk a pathway one kilometer long .

The Great Wall of China

The great wall covered in snow

It is estimated that the length of the great wall is about 9000 kilometers. It was built from the 3rd century BC (about 215 BC) by Emperor Qin Shi Huang of the Qin dynasty.   It’s the same Emperor to whom we owe the so-called terracotta army in Xian. Sections of the great wall were added in later centuries, but it was during the Ming dynasty in the 14th and reached its current dimensions.  Bricks and stones were used rather than clay, stone and wood.

The skyscrapers of New York

Many trips

For the first time this year I visited the United States. I began traveling at age 17, first alone, then, after the age thirty, in company with my wife. We went away for long periods with our backpacks and without programming . So we have known the countries that today would not be possible to visit as we did then. We had never thought to go to the United States. We were looking for countries off the beaten track by tourism . Those countries were also a challenge for us but we faced with enthusiasm. In return we received friendship, hospitality and knowledge of rhythms and habits of life totally different from ours.  For the first time this year I visited the United States.
