Stranded in Chilean Tierra del Fuego, Part 5

Visiting the Yahgan cultural museum

[Catch up on this series by reading Part 1 (why I went and how I got there), Part 2 (the new friends I made), Part 3 (the treasure trove of research that I found), and Part 4 (walking around Villa Ukika, the hub of the remaining Yahgan community)!]

Aside from seeing Villa Ukika, one of my goals for visiting the Chilean side of the Beagle Channel was to explore the Yahgan cultural museum in Puerto Williams. So on Tuesday afternoon, I headed over there.

This was another providential aspect of my getting stranded: the museum isn’t open on Mondays, so if my visit to Isla Navarino had gone as planned and I’d only stayed one night, I wouldn’t have been able to see the museum after all. And it was definitely worth the visit.
