There are places where nature is talking to you...
and Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia are undoubtedly such places:
the rush of waterfalls, the cracking of glaciers, the whistling of the wind from the howling fiftieths in the shrouds, the snow, sometimes hail, the breath of whales, the flight of the condor and of the royal albatross are there to remind you that the human species is just tolerated here, providing that we stay listening to this nature which is so much more than us. But don't worry: it's an area which we know very well.
From Ushuaia (55°S) at the end of Argentina's Tierra del Fuego and the southernmost city in the world, to Puerto Montt, the northern gateway to Chilean Patagonia (41°S), there are some 1,300 nautical miles ( approximately 2400 km) in 45 days of navigation through the fabulous channels and the maze of islands and islets which run along the Chilean coast at the foot of the mythical Andes Cordillera, in the south of the South American continent.
The main stops between Ushuaia and Puerto Montt are Puerto Williams, Puerto Natales and Puerto Eden, plus around thirty unforgettable anchorages in small enchanting natural bays (caletas).
We will be sailing during the day and nights are spent at anchor for most of the journey. An adventure in a fascinating virgin nature, which you will experience without artifice and truly disconnected from the frenzy of the rest of the world and fully experiencing these privileged moments that you will keep forever in your heart.
