Winding channels, snow-covered mountains, majestic glaciers and narrow passages: welcome to the magic of the Chilean fjords. Ponant is inviting you aboard Le Lyrial for an 15-day expedition cruise to the heart of South America's extraordinary landscapes. Departing from Valparaiso, you will discover Quemchi, an authentic village located on the lush island of Chiloé. After sailing in the Pulluche Channel, your next call will be the remote village of Tortel, suspended above the water, and its typical wooden footbridges which take the place of streets. You will then enter the Patagonian channel known...read more as the English Passage, before getting closer to including El Brujo, and Pie XI Glacier glaciers.
You will enjoy an unforgettable experience of sailing along the Strait of Magellan, then you will glimpse the gigantic Agostini and Garibaldi before rounding Cape Horn, surrounded by the stunning scenery provided by Tierra del Fuego National Park. On Navarino Island, you will make a final call at Puerto Williams, a pleasant fishing port considered by the Chileans to be the world's southernmost city, and finally you will sail to Argentina and Ushuaia, the final destination on your trip. Subject to weather conditions. The expedition highlights, encounters with the wildlife and itinerary described illustrate possible experiences only and cannot be guaranteed.
