You'll experience the region's remarkable biodiversity and ecological significance while visiting nature reserves and national parks, and marvel at the towering ice walls of the Garibaldi, Marinelli and Skua glaciers.
Continuing up Chile's west coast, we'll be welcomed by the people of remote communities, gaining a unique insight into their ways of life. From Puerto Natales you'll visit world-renowned Torres del Paine National Park before we head to charming Castro and picturesque Niebla and end our adventure in the vibrant hilltop city of Valparaso.
A visit to Chiloe island will have you reaching for your camera to photograph the unique local palafitos houses, and wander along the wooden boardwalks of picturesque Caleta Tortel. Our journey ends in beautiful Valparaiso, a UNESCO gem sometimes called 'The Jewel of the Pacific', the ideal place to end your voyage of discovery.

Itinerary
Home to a proud and diverse community of portenos, or 'people of the port', Buenos Aires is a sensuous fusion of faded European splendour and Latin American panache. An overnight stay here is the ideal way to start your adventure.
There are plenty of places to explore, including many parrillas serving authentic Argentine steak. Or maybe you'd like to practise your dance moves in the famous hometown of the tango.

Fly south to Ushuaia and board your ship. You'll have an early start today as we head to the airport for our flight to Ushuaia. With its backdrop of snow-covered mountains, Ushuaia holds the proud, if often-disputed, title of the southernmost city in the world.??
MS Roald Amundsen is waiting in port for you. After picking up your expedition jacket and meeting your Expedition Team, settle in and explore the ship before enjoying the first of many delicious meals on board. Your adventure is officially underway.?

The goal for the day is a scenic cruise within Garibaldi Fjord in Alberto de Agostini National Park, all the way up to Garibaldi Glacier. Here, the Andes tumble into the Pacific and great glaciers calve ice into the beautiful fjord.
The area is also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and its rich waters are home to seals, sea lions and many seabirds, including the impressive Andean Condor.
If conditions allow, we'll reach the Garibaldi Glacier at the head of the fjord, one of the most impressive glaciers in all of Chile.

We continue our exploration of Alberto de Agostini National Park sailing the Almirantazgo Sound amid towering mountain peaks to pristine Ainsworth Bay, a coastal inlet fed by the Marinelli Glacier, a glacier in retreat.
Here you'll learn about the effects of glacial meltwater on local ecosystems and wildlife, a trend seen across the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
If local sea and weather conditions allow, we'll explore the bay with our small expedition boats.

We continue off the well-trodden path to visit isolated Caleta Tortel. Lying at the mouth of Ro Baker, Chile's largest river, this charming village is home to just 500 inhabitants.
Instead of streets, a maze of boardwalks connects the close-knit community, spreading over water and around the mountain base.
While exploring the village, you'll come across locals selling handicrafts and you may even be treated to a performance by folk dancers.

Set amidst the lush greenery of Chiloe Island, Castro is Chile's third oldest city. It's also home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Iglesia San Francisco and Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de Gracia de Nercon. The former is one of the oldest colonial era buildings in the country and has survived 15 major earthquakes.
Keep your camera ready for views of the city's colourful palafitos, stilt houses along the waterfront. For insight into local culture, head to the Museo Regional de Castro and Modern Art Museum.

We go ashore at the pretty seaside town of Niebla, set on a picturesque peninsula with views of Corral Bay on one side and the Valdivia River on the other. Take a stroll on the wide sandy beach and, if the Feria Costumbrista market is open, sample traditional empanadas, anticuchos and churros.
Aside from the town itself, the ruins of the old Spanish fort and its associated museum are well worth a visit. Learn more about the region's history at the museum, then wander around the lighthouse. You'll enjoy beautiful views across the river and bay.
