Day by day

Day 1 : Puerto Montt, Embarkation

Your Patagonian adventure begins in Puerto Montt, a gateway to Chile's lake district. After boarding between 3:00 and 4:00 PM, you'll participate in mandatory briefings before the ship sets sail into the Gulf of Corcovado. As you depart, watch the verdant Chilean coastline disappear behind you, hinting at the wild terrain that awaits. This evening marks your first chance to connect with fellow travelers and meet the expedition team while preparing for the journey south.

Day 2 : Puyuhuapi Channel

Today you enter the Aysén region, navigating a tapestry of fjords, islands, and tranquil channels. As the ship cruises near Puerto Aysén, Puerto Cisnes, or Magdalena Island, keep your eyes peeled for an abundance of marine life—dolphins may ride the bow wave, sea lions lounge on rocks, and cormorants soar overhead. The day's destination will depend on weather and conditions, but the magic of Patagonia’s waterways promises an unforgettable immersion in nature's quiet drama.
