Puerto Natales is a small town, and the closest to get to Torres del Paine. With my parents, we will remember 2 experiences in Puerto Natales that were life-changing.
The food. We ate like KINGS. This tasty pulpo was our appetizer at an empty restaurant overlooking the Lost Hope Sound. Mom did not touch that plate with her fork, which left Dad and I alone to this tasty treat. The seasoning and sauce were perfect with this grilled seafood delight. After the Navimag cafeteria food, this was beyond savory.
Our favorite restaurant? Afrogonia. The restaurant gets its name from its equally interesting owners, a couple that came to live in Chile after meeting in Africa; the Chilean wife and her African husband combine African spices with Patagonia lamb and seafood. The BEST restaurant in Chile and one of the top in my life.
Go to Puerto Natales, book a flight with Sky Airlines, just for their ceviche. Or try the rack of lamb or the seafood curry. Ever hear of Leave No Trace? We left no trace of food on our plates!
For a small, tourist town that's almost off the grid, there's some great food. A brewery, stone pizza, fresh shellfish and seafood, Patagonia lamb … and eggs made to order by our B&B host at Keoken Bed & Breakfast.
Quotes from Mom, "This is the BEST meal ever!" and "I don't ever want to leave here!"
And, "This is the BEST day!"
Why? Our lives were changed. Forever impacted. We felt a shift of energy and were renewed. All with a Reiki massage from the sisters at this Puerto Natales massage place. Reiki massage? Just by placing her hands in chakra spots, my lovely Reiki told me, "You've got a very active mind. Very. And, be patient with your heart."
To my Mom? Your stomach has to consume all your new experiences, so your energy is low today. You've been having to take in a lot of new experiences so you should be back in harmony.
Mom was harmonized - and the Energizer Bunny the rest of the night! Dad's going to check it out back in the States, I think he is curious about the promise of a harmonized mind + body.
We loved the tranquility, peace and natural beauty of this Southern Chile city. Mom just wasn't a fan of the wind. I was afraid we'd lose her into the chilly Patagonian waters.
The serenity and peace here was one of our favorite places on our wild trip throughout Chile! We didn't even do all that we wanted to do! Maybe I'll go back...
