Expedition from Ushuaia to Callao with HANSEATIC inspiration - INS2804

Über Diese Reiseroute

The fjord landscape of Chile and its wildlife are waiting to be discovered by you. Set off in the footsteps of Magellan as you experience a unique labyrinth of water – with its spectacular glaciers – up close from the ship's deck and by Zodiac. Very few continents have such spectacular nature, such fascinating flora and fauna: your small, manoeuvrable expedition ship can demonstrate its advantages in the narrow waterways of the southern Chilean fjords. During the passage through the Beagle Channel, Chile's nature offers several spectacular highlights – and the famous 'Glacier Allee' truly lives up to its name. The ship's deck is your front-row seat for the gripping natural spectacles of the mighty calving ridges: five tidewater glaciers line the waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. A fascinating habitat for a wide variety of flora and fauna. If nature allows, you will discover a colony of sea lions at one of the glaciers, which will initially lie quietly there and then greet you with great noise. The mysticism and deceleration that emanate from this region are intensified even further when a humpback whale comes close to the ship. Cruising off the Garibaldi Glacier reveals the beauty of nature in all its glory. Even from a distance, you can see the ice masses that extend to the water. In bright, shimmering shades of blue and with a play of light that changes the mood by the second. Ice floes drift in the fjord and the silence of nature is broken only by the sounds of the sea lions. Look forward to thrilling experiences with the Zodiacs, depending on the local authorisations. As the expedition rubber boats approach the glacier, you will see the diverse mountain vegetation that frames the fjord and, with a bit of luck, you will be able to observe cormorants balancing on the rocks.
