As I set foot on the sandy shores of Punta Arenas, I was immediately overcome with a sense of tranquility and awe. The gentle lapping of the waves against the shore and the warm sun on my skin created a serene atmosphere that made me feel at peace with the world. The beach was pristine and inviting, with crystal clear waters and soft, white sand that stretched out before me as far as the eye could see. I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to experience such natural beauty and to be able to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures in life. The beginning of the beach of Punta Arenas is truly a magical place that I will never forget.

The sandy shores were of a darker hue, a sight uncommon to the usual tourist destinations. The location was secluded, away from the usual hustle and bustle, and the nearby eateries only accepted the local currency. We visited on a Friday afternoon and found ourselves in the company of only a handful of individuals.
