Ushuaia Roundtrip 14 Nights

Ushuaia, despite being dubbed the "End of the World" due to its position at the southernmost tip of South America within the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, is a far cry from the conclusion of any adventure. Nestled at the meeting point of the Andes and the Beagle Channel, with the majestic snow-capped Martial Mountains framing a vibrant city adorned with colorful buildings, this lively town eagerly awaits to embark you on an exhilarating journey. Enriching scenes, such as those found in Parque Yatana, provide opportunities for immersive experiences in the vibrant tapestry of indigenous culture.

Navigating the formidable Drake Passage is a journey tailor-made for the boldest explorers, where the guidance of petrels and albatrosses soaring through the skies adds to the thrill. Witnessing its awe-inspiring power elevates the entire voyage to Antarctica to a triumphant experience.

This challenging waterway connects the southernmost region of the Americas to the Antarctic Peninsula, the northern point of The White Continent. The convergence of cold southern ocean with warm northern sea water generates powerful currents, testing the resilience of those who dare to traverse it.

The brave journeyers are rewarded with an encounter with extraordinary wildlife. The meeting point of warm and cold waters fosters an environment that attracts remarkable creatures such as humpback whales and hourglass dolphins. The 48-hour soundtrack of the Drake Passage resonates with the crashing of ocean waves against the ship and the cries of petrels, skuas, and gulls.

While renowned for its reputation of challenging navigation, the Drake Passage occasionally reveals its calmer side. At times, the channel becomes serene and tranquil, offering a delightful journey into Antarctica. This unpredictability is among the splendid characteristics of the Drake Passage - a reminder that the journey is ever-changing and full of surprises.

As you emerge from the Drake Passage, the colossal, icy peaks of the South Shetland Islands stand as a majestic welcome, marking your victorious landing. Having successfully completed this rite of passage, you are now poised to explore the seventh continent.
