We will begin the adventure aboard our sailboat from Valdivia, in the Los Ríos Region, where we will enjoy the charming Calle-Calle River and the picturesque city before boarding.
Afterwards, we will sail south along the Chilean coast, admiring spectacular coastal landscapes and secluded beaches. We will pass by the magical Chiloé archipelago, known for its wooden churches, vibrant markets and rich Chilote culture. After that, we will enter the challenging and exciting Gulf of Penas, where we will sail through open waters before entering the fjords.
Once we cross the Gulf of Penas, we will enter the Patagonian channels, discovering the remote and captivating Messier Channel. We will sail between impressive fjords and glaciers, including the serene Eyre Fjord, famous for its natural beauty and tranquility, or the majestic Pío XI glacier, the largest in South America, located in the Magallanes Region.
We will continue our journey through the channels and fjords until we reach the legendary Strait of Magellan, culminating the trip in Punta Arenas, the southernmost city in Chile, known for its rich history and which acts as a gateway to Antarctica.
During this journey, you will have the opportunity to observe a fascinating variety of marine and terrestrial fauna: humpback and blue whales, southern and Chilean dolphins, sea lions, Magellanic penguins, seabirds, leopard seals and huillines (endemic otters). This adventure not only offers impressive natural landscapes, but also a rich biodiversity in one of the most spectacular regions in the world.
