With different tasks every day and with no schedule, the shepherds always arrive on time at the dinning–kitchen room to eat, 5 times a day, the principal plate along all Tierra del Fuego: the lamb.

TIERRA DEL FUEGO. CHILE.

Crossing the Magallanes strait, 3 hours in a ship and then 3 more hours in a little compact car of the 80´s, I arrived to Russfin (180 kms from "Porvenir", the main city of Tierra del Fuego), a little village with no more of 20 inhabitants, mostly shepherds, no women and 3000 sheeps.
