| CHILE TO ARGENTINA:
PUNTA ARENAS TO USHUAIA EXPEDITION
CRUISE
5 days / 4 nights
In The Southernmost of The World, Where
the sea and the mountains meet, the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans merge,
silence is touching, and flora, fauna and Geography arouse the senses.
In this wild and magic area, glaciers, perennial snow sea lions, penguins
and the lush vegetation will be witness to the passage of the Mare Australis
Expedition Cruise through legendary sea routes that bring to mind the
history of sailors and natives in one of the most unexplored areas of
the planet, a region unimaginably beautiful and indomitable, unspoiled
and imposing.
Day 01: Punta
Arenas
Check in from 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. at Magallanes 990, Punta Arenas.
6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m., embark the Expedition Cruise Ship. The Captain
and crew will give a welcome cocktail reception on board. Immediately
afterward, the ship will set sail for the ”uttermost part of the
earth.” Through the mythical Strait of Magellan, we will travel
to Southern Patagonia, including Tierra de Fuego. This is the beginning
of a Great Adventure!
Day 02: Ainsworth
Bay - Tucker Islet
During the dawn’s early light, our ship will continue navigating
through Almirantazgo Inlet, until arriving near Marinelli Glacier in Ainsworth
Bay, where we will enjoy a walk to discover a beaver dam in the midst
of a marvelous Magellanic forest. On the beach we will observe a colony
of Elephant Seals. Continuing the voyage, we will visit Tucker Islet,
where we will sight colonies of Magellanic penguins and Cormorants from
the zodiac boats.
Day 03: Pia
Glacier - Glacier Alley
We will navigate the main part of the Beagle Channel to enter Pia Fjord
and disembark near the glacier of the same name. We will take an excursion
to a look-out point that is ideal for viewing the mountain range where
the glacier originates, and its flow all the way to the sea. After this
unforgettable experience, we will sail again along the northwest arm of
the Beagle Channel through majestic “Glacier Alley”: Spain,
Romanche, Germany, Italy, France and Holland glaciers.
Day 04: Cape Horn and Puerto Williams
We will sail through the Beagle and Murray Channels to disembark in Cape
Horn National Park. Cape Horn, a sheer, almost 425-meter-high promontory,
where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans merge, was discovered in 1616 by
the Dutch commercial expedition organized by Isaac Le Maire. The Cape
owes it's name to the Port of Hoorn, the expedition’s departure
point. In the afternoon, we will disembark in Port Williams, the southernmost
town in the world, where you can take optional excursions, such as the
visit to Martin Gusinde Museum.
Day 05: Ushuaia
Arrival to Ushuaia, the most important Argentine city in Tierra del Fuego,
and the southernmost city in the world. Disembark at 8:00 a.m., enabling
you to visit the city and national parks, and continue your trip through
Patagonia.
Tours must be booked at least 45 days prior to arrival.
