to be taking you around the capital  city of chile's southernmost region  

magadanes and antartica chilena  that's all the way down here  

in this episode we'll be hopping aboard replicas  of historic ships like the hms beagle and the now  

victoria and imagining what it would have been  like to cross uncharted waters like the early  

explorers we'll also be showing you around some  of punta arena's main attractions including its  

plaza this cool panoramic viewpoint and its  famed necropolis and because you already know  

we're major foodies we'll also be taking you to  a few restaurants in search of steak and seafood  

so let's get this video rolling good morning good  afternoon good morning from punta arenas chile it  

is lunchtime it's lunch time we've got food on  our mind in fact i think we know where we're  

going i think we're going to go to a steakhouse  so yesterday while we were walking downtown we  

noticed a very famous restaurant that specializes  in chilean barrigan barbecue it's called los  

ganaderos so that's where we're headed so that's  the plan for the food portion of this video  

and then we're gonna head out and do some  sightseeing i really want to walk along the  

waterfront check out the pier and we'll see what  else we find along the way yeah we've been doing  

some research about this city and there's  quite a bit to do here let's check it out  

well guys the food is here we were thinking the  restaurant isn't very full today what's going on  

and it turns out we're just here early like what  time is it now one o'clock people start writing at  

one yeah so there's been a lot more people coming  in so i ordered my steak it's called alopo so i  

basically got a piece of steak with two fried  eggs on top and it also came with french fries  

the stick is very good very tender and we noticed  on the menu there were lots of different cuts to  

choose from they also had patagonian lamb but i  feel like you kind of need a very big appetite for  

that all right so i got the beefy de chorizo and i  got some potato mash that comes with onions mixed  

in i'm smelling some parsley in there too this  looks delicious guys they call it leonesa style  

yeah this is one of our favorite cuts that we  have when we're in argentina so i can't wait to  

try it here in chile and i got it done which  is which is a bit juicy can't wait to try it

wow that's delicious guys juicy so much  flavor i mean the way it's cooked like this  

you don't really need to add anything  you don't really need chimichurri  

even salt it just tastes great on its own  and have some wine here cabernet sauvignon  

chili does a good asado the verdict isn't  dessert was all sam's doing this is artwork  

on a plate this is a snickers torta snickers  pie my goodness does it ever look decadent oh  

my gosh i can't wait to try this it is thick and  the presentation couldn't be any more beautiful

it really does taste like a snickers  bar that's what i have to say  

and i don't want to know  how many calories are in it  

well guys that was a very good lunch as usual  we are rolling out of here feeling stuffed yeah  

and we still need to go sightseeing so we're going  to start with a walk to kind of wake ourselves up  

from the food coma we like boas yeah um the  price it was 55 us dollars total so yeah it's  

kind of pricey we can't seem to get it much lower  than that it's usually 50 to 75 whenever the two  

of us go for food here in chile so that was two  mains one glass of wine a soda water and dessert  

but very good that being said sam and i were  discussing like what have been our most memorable  

meat and seafood experiences and we both agree  that chile and peru are really good at seafood  

like they're just outstanding in that department  and then argentina and uruguay really know their  

steak and they cannot be outdone so our food was  good but we kept comparing it to argentina's steak  

and uruguayan steak a little bit so yeah it was  tasty but i definitely feel like the seafood and  

chili really shines and who knows maybe they're  patagonian lamb i saw a few people ordering that  

yeah so maybe we should have gone with that but  a good meal overall and now we go sightseeing

and guys another thing that has surprised us  here in chile that i keep forgetting to mention  

is that drivers stop for pedestrians like we  noticed this when we first got to puerto natales  

and now here too and us and anytime there's  like a zebra crossing or an intersection it's  

like they give you priority they're not trying  to run you over which is so strange having spent  

a few months in argentina where you really  have to be on guard on high alert looking  

who's coming and where are they coming from  because people just turn and you know drivers  

do as they please so that's been really nice as a  pedestrian kind of like feeling a bit safer here  

then hopped in a taxi and traveled to the now  victoria museum which is located about 15 minutes  

north of town this is an open air museum that sits  on the shores of the strait of magellan and it's  

where you can see full-sized replicas of historic  vessels the idea for this museum came to be when  

a local businessman decided to build a replica of  the now victoria to celebrate chile's bicentennial  

well it proved to be no easy task the search for  the ship's original plans took almost three years  

and it was then another two years to complete  the whole construction but today this museum  

is considered one of the main draws to punta  arenas we first visited the now victoria which  

first set sail in 1519 as part of the spanish  five ship expedition led by ferdinand magellan  

the now victoria was the only ship to complete the  voyage and in the process became the first ship to  

successfully circumnavigate the globe it's crazy  to think that 500 years ago people would have  

crossed entire oceans aboard a vessel just like  this one i would have been a miserable sailor  

in case you're curious about the captain's  quarters voila here it is the bed in all its  

glory and simplicity i should say i mean at least  i don't know there is no at least it's pretty

i don't bad anything positive to say  oh my gosh that must have been rough  

but you've got to think everyone else  was probably like sleeping in hammocks  

yeah below decks this is this was luxury this  is luxury right here in case you're interested  

in seeing the toilet sands  a little bit tall for this

the drop the new the hole are you a sweet pepper

we also visited the replica of the hms  beagle one of the most famous vessels in  

history during its first voyage the hms beagle  carried out a hydrographic survey of patagonia  

in tierra del fuego first under the command  of pringle stokes and later robert fitzroy  

it was during this voyage that the beagle  channel was identified and named after this ship  

later during the beagle's second voyage a young  charles darwin would travel aboard and we all know  

how he revolutionized science with his discoveries  it's not every day that we get to walk around the  

replica of the hms beagle and this is a one-to-one  scale so exactly the size it would have been  

and this is what it would have looked like on  the inside perhaps a few more furnishings i mean  

right now we've basically got the bones  but yeah nothing fancy let me tell you  

it's hard to imagine how people  spend months at sea in one of these

are we centered are we in the frame i hope so  getting here let's get closer there we go we're  

in the frame what a great day huh it was fun it  was a lot of fun i especially love the museum  

yeah now victoria with the ship replica oh my  gosh the one to one replicas were amazing they had  

great information displays it was a nice big sight  it was fantastic like to be able to go and see  

what the ships were like especially going into the  bottom part yeah like you can climb down you can  

explore you can see what the captain's orders look  like the toilet seeing like the outhouse toilets  

just a drop really now i will give you one  little heads up for getting to this museum  

it's outside of the city maybe like a 10 15 minute  drive not that far getting a taxi going there  

is very easy but then coming back is a little  bit of a dilemma because when we were done and  

i asked the guy working like you know the the box  office the admission booth i'm like would you be  

able to call a taxi or like you know how do we  get back yeah he's like actually no i don't have  

any phone numbers for taxis i can't do much he's  like there's a bus that comes every 30 minutes  

on the other side of the highway i'm like oh [  __ ] help me yeah because the first road you go  

when you leave the premises is not actually  the highway no we just got extremely lucky  

that we flagged down a cab driver yeah going  by yeah i just feel like it was our lucky day  

and it ended up driving us to the viewpoint yeah  so our next stop of the day was cerro de la cruz  

yeah which is a lookout point here in punta  arenas and you get really nice views of the  

whole cities rooftops like the water the ship  the vantage point is incredible and you really  

really see the city wall from there the other  thing i should mention too is that we we briefly  

visited the the local market as well oh yeah so  while we were walking along the waterfront we  

also popped into the municipal market where they  actually have a whole bunch of little restaurants  

where you can go and eat seafood and there's  also an artisanal craft section so kind of a cool  

place to check out anyways hope you guys enjoyed  this video we've got another one coming tomorrow  

right from here and we'll see you then morning  guys today is our final day in chile these nine  

days have just flown by haven't they sure have  doesn't feel like nine days my goodness i know but  

it's our final day here in punta arenas patagonia  beautiful outside i mean last night we thought the  

roof was gonna blow off it was so windy seriously  like i cannot get used to these patagonian winds  

it was howling like crazy out there yeah we've  noticed since we've been in patagonia i mean  

there's days where it's not windy there's days  where it's windy and i'd say like once a week  

we get there's just crazy winds for like a  certain amount of hours where it just feels like  

like armageddon like like the house is gonna like  collapse you know seriously so the plan for today  

we want to do a bit of sightseeing around the  downtown area we've got the plaza the cathedral  

and acropolis some museums of course food chilean  food as usual we're going to go in search of some  

tasty dishes what are you craving for food i'm  already thinking about this what are you what are  

you craving something with seafood seafood i could  totally have chilean seafood again but i'm open to  

trying anything i made your last day i'm probably  going to try a dish that we haven't had yet that's  

probably that's my goal i'm kind of craving like  a fish and seafood soup oh yeah with like a fish  

head floating you know what it's oh my gosh it's  still pretty chilly here guys even though this  

is this is about as warm as it gets uh in this  part of patagonia but i mean in the mornings it's  

cold so yeah i can understand that craving yeah  anyways um let's bundle up and go outside let's go

our first stop of the day was the cathedral of  punta arenas chile patagonia and from there we  

crossed over to plaza de armas also known as  plaza munoz gamero which is the town square  

here you'll find a sculpture of the famed  portuguese explorer ferdinand magellan  

he achieved the first european navigation  from the atlantic to asia and the street of  

magellan is named after him that's the natural  passage between the atlantic and pacific oceans

then it was time for lunch and we chose  a restaurant specializing in seafood  

eventful morning so we were able to visit the  cathedral yes we had a little walk around the  

plaza and they also had little artisanal shops set  up so we did a bit of souvenir shopping for one of  

our friends kids we got little baby penguins  which are very cute and then from there we  

had a whole bunch of museums we wanted to go to  the first failure the naval and maritime museum  

and we went based off of the information on google  maps like the schedule listed there and then we  

get there and it turns out it's not actually  open today no not on a sunday not on a sunday  

we were not able to do that one failure number  one failure number one the other one palacio  

sara brown that one is not only not open today but  when we got there like the gates were chained up  

so i don't know what the deal is then we went  to the one called regional museum of magellan  

and we got to the main entrance and there  was like construction happening so it said  

uh you have to go like around the block  the entrance is on the other street  

yeah so we go around and we get there and  then there's another sign saying oh sorry  

actually we're closed for the foreseeable  future because we're doing renovations so yeah  

we didn't we didn't just take one strike  we struck out three strikes three strikes  

and then after all that we looked at our watches  and it was 12 o'clock we were feeling hungry so  

we're like you know what let's just go for  food now uh we came to a restaurant called  

la luna which is very cool like very funky lots of  characters i would describe it as oozing character  

yeah like just check out the walls there's like  little notes from people who have eaten here and  

they've also taken old currency like these old  two peso bills from argentina no longer exist  

and they've written messages and they're  just like plastered all over the walls  

photographs it's got a bodegone vibe for sure  yeah and we are going for another seafood  

extravaganza we're going all out for seafood  on the last day because chile does amazing  

seafood yes we actually ordered a giant platter  that comes with everything like shrimp scallops  

i think there's going to be some calamari  like everything there's like five or six
