Highlights
Discover the infinite white wilderness of Antarctica
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
The infinite white wilderness of Antarctica creates unforgettable impressions. Kayak in Antarctic waters amidst icebergs, hike snowy paths to spectacular viewpoints and hear glaciers calve. We may even have an opportunity to camp under the polar sky
After several fascinating days exploring Antarctica, make your way back north to the South American continent, landing on Cape Horn if conditions allow.
The Chilean fjords’ deep channels and mountain walls that plunge into icy seas leave a profound impression. This wild and remote area seems almost untouched by humans.
See the lofty rock formations called ‘Torres del Paine’ (Towers of Paine). Experience azure lakes, trails that meander through emerald forests, roaring rivers, and a radiant blue glacier.
Sailing through Patagonia, we visit the remote village of Puerto Edén in Bernardo O’Higgins National Park. There are great hiking opportunities around this settlement, which can only be reached by water. The 250 inhabitants include the 15 remaining members of the indigenous Kawéskar people
The island city of Castro is known for its colorful ‘palafitos’, wooden houses mounted on stilts along the shoreline. Visit the Iglesia San Francisco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the unique Churches of Chiloé, as well as nearby Chiloé National Park.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.
