Once we arrived in Punta Arenas, we checked in to our AirBnB and went out for dinner. We came across a restaurant called Estilo Magallánico that specializes in Chilean seafood dishes. We ordered the ceviche with avocado as a starter and it was divine. Then for the main dishes, we got king crab casserole in a rich and creamy sauce with lots of cheese! And we also ordered the parmesan scallops in a buttery sauce. Every thing was delightful! We seriously loved the food at this place - if you ever find yourself in Punta Arenas and want to try some Chilean seafood dishes, you need to come here!
We then had a pretty chill afternoon in the apartment. We had been travelling for almost 3 months at this point, so we were pretty tired. But don't worry, in the next video we'll be showing around Punta Arenas' main attractions, and we'll also visit a couple of different restaurants and continue sampling Chilean dishes. See you then!

Overslept and scrambled to pack, shower, and catch our taxi with only 5 minutes to spare.
Heading by bus to Punta Arenas (3 h 15 min), our first real stop en route to Ushuaia.

Bedroom 2: Single bed for Samuel.
Living room: Fireplace, red couch, extra seating (no bidet—just a toilet!).
$50 CAD/night for this rustic, high-ceiling duplex.
🚕 Shortcut to the Bus Terminal
Footrace to the terminal—ended up arriving early after a 2-minute cab ride.
Picked up classic Chilean empanadas: huge, hand-chopped beef filling with egg, raisins, flaky pastry.
Bonus “spinach-cheese-banana” surprise when Samuel asked for a ham-and-cheese sandwich!
🚌 Scenic Patagonian Bus Ride
Comfortable $10 CAD ticket on a professional Chilean coach (two drivers, mini-terminal drop-off).
Passed endless Patagonian steppe, estancias, and more sheep than people.
🛒 Quick Grocery Run
Checked out a nearby supermarket to stock up on fresh produce, snacks, and—of course—wine.
🍽️ Epic Lunch at “Estilo Magallánico”
Mixed ceviche with salmon, white fish, corn, peppers, red onion, avocado—bright, tangy “tigers’ milk” magic.
Chupe de centollo (king crab casserole): shredded crab in creamy, cheesy bake—like “pulled crab” perfection.
Parmesan scallops swimming in buttery sauce and stringy cheese—next-level tender.
Paired it all with a local Cabernet Sauvignon.

Back at the Airbnb: fire lit, bottles opened, movie queued.
Snack attack: sweet peanuts and sugar cookies to round out a restful evening.
