Cape Horn (Cabo de Hornos) was the windiest and coldest place (as well as the furthest south) we went on our Patagonia adventure.
Cape Horn marks the northern part of the Drake Passage which separates the Americas from Antartica.
Believe it or not, there is a family that lives full time in the lighthouse on the island as part of the Chilean military.
Apparently, it is a highly sought after position because after 2 years on the island, the family can earn enough money to buy a nice house somewhere warmer!
There used to be this really amazing sign for Cape Horn but it was blown apart by fierce winds a few weeks before we arrived.
Looks chilly!!!
