The “Land of Fire” & Cape Horn
First, delight in Montevideo’s simpler pleasures: lavender-flavored
jacaranda trees and colorful markets. Welsh-influenced Puerto Madryn,
Argentina, your next port of call, is best known for its sun-bathing
penguins and colony of elephant seals. Feast your eyes on beaches of
white quartz and dramatic cliffs as you arrive in Port Stanley,
Falkland Islands. Next is Ushuaia, the southernmost town in the world,
where you’ll discover wildlife-filled islands and Parque Nacional
Tierra del Fuego. Then make your way around the tip of infamous Cape
Horn, the southernmost point in South America. Take in views of the
windswept plains, clear lakes, and soaring mountains of Tierra del
Fuego — the “Land of Fire” — and the Beagle Channel.

From the Chilean Fjords to Patagonia
Next, you’ll arrive in Punta Arenas, known as the “Gateway to
Antarctica.” Natural wonders abound as your cruise continues through
the Patagonic Channels and the Chilean Fjords, and past the mighty
Aisén Glacier. Then travel the Darwin Canal, a waterway resembling the
rare splendor of Alaska’s Inside Passage. You’ll finally reach Puerto
Chacabuco. Finally, set sail for Puerto Montt, a small village nestled
beside the Andean foothills in the heart of Chile’s famed Lake
District.
