Today, we set out towards the Pacific coast, where the colorful port city of Valparaíso awaits. This UNESCO World Heritage site enchants us with its steep hills, historic funiculars, and vibrant murals. At Plaza San Luis, we wander through picturesque streets adorned with striking street art, each mural reflecting the city’s bohemian soul.

A visit to Yugoslavo Viewpoint rewards us with breathtaking panoramic views, while the cobbled streets of Cerro Alegre invite us to soak in its artistic charm. As we stroll along Paseo Atkinson, past colonial mansions and the quaint Anglican Church, we are transported to another era.

After a lunch pause, we take time to explore at our own pace, browsing through local art and crafts shops. Our day concludes at Sotomayor Square, where the grandeur of the Navy building and the War of the Pacific monument stand as proud testaments to Chile’s maritime legacy. In the evening, we return to Santiago for a restful night.

We start the day with a transfer to the Airport for our flight to Punta Arenas, the gateway to Chilean Patagonia. Depending on our arrival time, we may have the opportunity to explore this historic city before setting off on a scenic drive to Puerto Natales, where this charming town welcomes us with stunning fjord views and a cozy atmosphere.

After checking in at our hotel, we unwind, savor local flavors, and prepare for the unforgettable Patagonia adventures that await in the days ahead.

Today, we venture into a land of towering peaks, shimmering lakes, and vast wilderness. Traveling in specially equipped vehicles, we traverse 100 km of scenic routes, stopping at iconic viewpoints like the Paine River Waterfall, where we admire the towering and legendary granite peaks: Torres del Paine.

We continue to Salto Grande Waterfall, a stunning natural marvel, and take an easy yet rewarding hike to Mirador de los Cuernos, where jagged rock formations rise dramatically above pristine waters. The day’s grand finale awaits at Lago Grey Peninsula, offering unparalleled views of the immense Grey Glacier, one of the park’s most breathtaking natural wonders.

As the day comes to an end, we return to Puerto Natales, filled with admiration for Patagonia’s untamed beauty.

A morning transfer will take us to the city of Punta Arenas, where we will board our Antarctica cruise and continue our travel experience.
