Santiago - Santiago city tour

This tour offers a chance to become a “santiaguino” for six hours and enjoy an excursion that leads to the very core of Chile’s capital. The tour begins with a subway ride on the “metro” - the first stop on the way is Metro station “Universidad de Chile” where visitors surface at Santiago’s splendid main avenue. From here, several representative buildings are visited such as “La Moneda” government palace and the Stock Exchange, to later head on to traditional Plaza de Armas square with Santiago’s Cathedral on one side. Lunch will be enjoyed at El Galeon restaurant at the Central Market that offers a host of seafood varieties. Next follows an introduction to bohemian Santiago with a visit to Barrio Bellavista, with its pubs and restaurants, where some of Chile’s typical drinks may be tasted - among them its world class wines. The tour concludes with a climb to San Cristobal hill -crowned by the radiant statue of Virgin Mary- to revel in a spectacular view of the city.

Torres del Paine excursions

Sample excursion - Torres del Paine are granite monoliths created by the outcropping of an igneous rock laccolith that has been eroded by glaciers, rivers and wind over time. The trek begins through the Ascencio Valley, along the slopes of Admiral Nieto Mountain as far as the Chilean Shelter. It then continues through a beech forest and ends with a climb through a moraine of large rocks that will bring us to the base of the Towers (Torres) 4 hours later. Weather permitting, we will be able to see the North Tower, Central Tower and South Tower in all their splendour.

Punta Arenas - Stella Australis cruise

Free morning in Punta Arenas. In the afternoon check in for your cruise at 1385 O’Higgins Street in Punta Arenas. Then in evening board the M/V Stella Australis. After a welcoming cocktail reception hosted by the captain and his crew, the ship departs for one of the remotest corners of planet Earth. During the night we cross the Strait of Magellan and enter the labyrinth of channels that define the southern extreme of Patagonian. The twinkling lights of Punta Arenas gradually fade into the distance as we enter the Whiteside Canal between Darwin Island and Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego.

Stella Australis Cruise

Overnight we sail around the western end of Tierra del Fuego via the very narrow Gabrial Channel, Magdalena Channel and Cockburn Channel. By morning we are entering Pia Fjord and boarding the Zodiacs for a shore excursion to Pia Glacier. After disembarking we take a short hike to gain a panoramic view of the spectacular glacier, which extends from the mountaintops down to the sea or a longer much more difficult walk up a lateral moraine of the old Pia Glacier. Back onboard the ship, we continue east along the Beagle Channel through an area called Glacier Alley. Living up to its name, the passage features a number of impressive tidewater glaciers flowing down from the Darwin Mountains and Darwin Ice Sheet on the north shore. Most of them named after European countries -- Holland, Italy, Germany, Spain and France.
