Expedition from Valparaiso to Ushuaia with HANSEATIC inspiration - INS2424

О данном маршруте

Where several tectonic plates meet, Chile’s northern and southern fjords were created over millions of years. Only with a small expedition ship like the HANSEATIC inspiration can this labyrinth of water be experienced particularly intensively. Captain and crew choose fascinating passages through the vast network of fjords. Framed by gigantic glaciers and mighty granite mountains, awe-inspiring natural wonders and spectacular wildlife lie before you at the end of the world – hidden treasures just waiting for you to discover them. Each expedition day promises new, unique impressions. The charming town of Puerto Montt, surrounded by snow-covered volcanoes, marks the beginning. The Petrohue waterfalls and the Osorno volcano, with its snow-covered cone, show you the sublime natural phenomena surrounding the people who live here. A kayak tour in the La Poza lagoon takes you to the home of mock elms and kingfishers. German roots characterise Puerto Varas and Frutillar: apart from the renowned Teatro del Lago, even Black Forest gateau is a sign of German–Chilean partnership. Chaiten shows how life is determined by the forces of nature. In 2008, the town fell victim to the volcano of the same name – a climb to the volcano will take you right to the edge of the caldera. Alternatively, on a hike in Parque Pumalin, you can explore the rainforest with giant cypresses. While cruising intensively through the northern fjords, you will enjoy the best views on the inspiration Walk and the ship’s many open deck areas. The picturesque route to Caleta Tortel – connected by kilometre-long walkways made of cypress wood – is truly something special. With less than 90 inhabitants, Puerto Eden reveals how idyllic it is to live in a village on the shore. From this point onwards, the following days will revolve around glaciers. The excitement mounts as the nautically demanding manoeuvres lead to spectacular scenes, including the passing of the Pio XI Glacier. Marvel at one of South America’s biggest ice masses with its bizarre craggy surface sparkling in blue and white.
