M/N MARE AUSTRALIS (3 nights)
Departures from Ushuaia to Punta Arenas
Itinerary day by day
DAY 1 - USHUAIA
Check in at San Martín 245, Ushuaia, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
5:00 p.m. 6:00 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 2 - CAPE HORN - WULAIA BAY
Cape Horn
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 Ocean merge, was discovered in 1616 by
the Dutch commercial expedition organized by Isaac Le Maire. The Cape
owes its name to the Port of Hoorn, the expeditions departure
point. In the afternoon we will disembark in historical Wulaia Bay,
once the site of one of the regions largest native settlements.
This area is also renowned for the spectacular beauty of its vegetation
and geography. We will walk through a Magellanic forest filled with
Lengas, Coigües, Canelos, ferns and other species to reach a look-out
point.
DAY 3 - CHICO INLET
Chico Inlet
We will disembark in Chico Inlet for a zodiac boat approach to Piloto
and Nena glaciers, providing us with a closer look at these awe-inspiring
masses of ancient ice.
DAY 4 - MAGDALENA ISLAND - PUNTA ARENAS
Magdalena Island
Early in the morning, we will disembark on Magdalena Island, the home
of an immense colony of more than 120,000 Magellanic Penguins that we
will be able to observe during our walk to the Lighthouse that guides
different ships on their way through the Strait of Magellan. After our
visit, we will return to Punta Arenas, disembarking at 11:30 a.m., concluding
our adventure.
