Travel to Punta Arenas

And now for something completely different. We’re heading from the Atacama Desert in the north near the Tropic of Capricorn to the Puntas Arenas on the Strait of Magellan and the largest city south of the 46th parallel.

Our journey began with the usual luggage check except the grads got involved to help the younger singers. Next, a quick bus trip to the airport, followed by the inevitable waiting, filled first with singing and then with a bit of free time where the boys could have fun and engage with one another.

When we landed in Punta Arenas, the choir met old friends, including our host Jorge Sharp and many families that had homestayed the choir on the previous trip to Chile. Because of their warmth and hospitality, Punta Arenas was the only city the choir is revisiting from the first Chilean tour. After the greeting song, the boys met their homestays and were off for the night – after pictures with their homestays, of course.
