Itinerary of the expedition
to the Chilean Fjords
to the Chilean Fjords
We meet at the Ushuaia airport (Argentina)
It is located on the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, at the southernmost part of South America. We’ get accommodated on the yacht, finish all the border procedures and in the evening we'll go to a Chilean city named Puerto Williams.
Day 1
Puerto Williams and the beginning of our journey
We will have a nice day walking around Puerto Williams-a city located on the shore of the Beagle Channel, next to a stunning mountain range. In the evening we'll continue our journey to explore Chilean Patagonia in the upcoming 12 days.
Day 2
Cape Horn and Chilean Patagonia
Cape Horn is the southernmost headland of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. It is located on the Hornos Island in the Southern Ocean. Back in the olden days it was a recognition of sailor skills if they successfully pass round Cape Horn. They used to have a tradition: after the first passage around Cape Horn sailors got the right to wear a copper earring, after the second — a silver one, and after the third — a golden one. Cape Horn's location is notorious for constant storms, heavy fog and very little amount of sunlight. They call it “sailors' Everest”-the one every sailor wants to conquer. In 2005 this legendary place was recognized as a natural world heritage and was acquired UNESCO protection.
There are 2 ways to pass Cape Horn — a western and an eastern. We'll choose one considering the weather.
We can not predict where exactly we will find ourselves on each day of our trip, but we can assure you that we have chosen the most beautiful spots of the region for this route. You will see pristine nature, Alberto de Agostini National Park, snowy mountain peaks, glaciers, quiet bays, waterfalls, rivers full of mussels — all this beauty will be there for you during 12 days of sailing with us.

Local landscapes do not resemble anything else — they combine Norwegian Fjords and Saigon jungles. Mountain rivers form into waterfalls. Wild falcons come close to the boat trying to steal our freshly caught fish. We can quite often stumble into whales here.
We’ll make stops in picturesque bays where you can hear a crackling of the age-old ice If we are lucky, we'll meet local fishermen hiding from storms in cozy gulfs and get a chance to buy freshly caught crabs.
These views prompt many thoughts, imagine being surrounded by only the sky-high mountains and wild forests. Magical Chilean Fjords. Join our sailing expedition there!
