"At the End of the World" Cape Horn / Cabo de Hornos, Parque Nacional Cabo de Hornos, Tierra del Fuego, Chile

What have you heard about Cape Horn? If you haven't heard about anything, look at the map - it's pretty much the south end of the Americas, the closest point to Antarctica. That's why people call it "End of the World".

There had been so many ship wrecks for brave sailors to get to this point. This spot was a dream for human beings for so many years.

After a whole night of not being able to sleep due to the rocking of the boat, we managed to get to this "end of the world" while feeling quite terrible to be honest. And we were almost feeling like "Oh man was it worth it or what?" However soon after we landed to the island of Cape Horn, we realized that the view there was very special. It's all surreal. The way light shines onto these weird plants we never saw before, the incredible rush of wind that can easily blow us away unless we really put lots of force in our muscles to stay on the ground, cold air, and the weather that changes every minute. It's crazy. Would I recommend other folks to do it? Maybe not, but it's definitely something really special, and we certainly don't get to experience something like this.
