  From the voyage of Darwin to this special tour, the mystery and allure of Patagonia has drawn explorers, hikers and nature lovers for centuries. We begin our adventure among the emerald islands of the Chiloe Archipelago; an area steeped in culture and maritime history, rolling pastures, old growth forests and penguin colonies. To get a better feel for the cultural treasures of the area we will board Cahuella, a 50-foot handcrafted cruiser to navigate among the islands, stopping at centuries old churches and antique farmhouses. Cahuella will then cross over to Pumalin Park on continental Patagonia, an area of steep walled fjords, ancient forests, glacier covered volcanoes and natural hot springs that is only accessible by sea. Here we can take moderate hikes into remote valleys where no roads exist. Our tour continues with a flight to southern Patagonia and several days amidst the diverse beauty of Torres del Paine National Park. This park is famous for its emerald lakes, golden grasslands, glacier-covered peaks and the spectacular granite spires that give the park its name. A combination of 6 days cruising through the fjords of Patagonia and 5 easy day hikes. This trip is limited to 7..

  This cruise starts on the big island of the Chiloe, known for its rich folklore, fantastic wildlife, and varied seafood. Your lovely vessel, Cahuella, will sail among many smaller islands, dropping anchor every evening so you can go ashore and visit friendly local families and explore their beautiful farms. Each night will be spent in beautiful calm bays and each day we explore the islands hiking, sea kayaking, or by a motorized outboard zodiac. Leaving the multitude of islands of the Chiloe Archipelago, we will make our way to the spectacular grandeur of mainland Patagonia and its canals and steep walled fjords. Here you will witness the untouched wilderness of the steep glacier-topped Andes, old growth temperate rainforest and numerous hot springs that motivated the protection of over 600,000 acres as South America's newest and largest park project. Your professional chef will keep your appetite sated with the freshest products from the sea and local farms while the spectacular cultural treasures of the archipelago together with the natural majesty of the fjords will make your experience unforgettable.
