    • Cruising Garibaldi Glacier, Chile
    • Glacier of Agostini, Chile
    Glacier Alley: Sail into a vast wilderness of snow-capped peaks and mirror-like lakes, thick glaciers, and islets blanketed with vegetation. In this pristine landscape, myriad fjords or senos cut between soaring granite walls and waterfalls splash down from high above. The region we explore for the next two days is known as Glacier Alley. The entire area is part of a greater UNESCO Biosphere Reserve focusing on the Magallanes Sub-Antarctic Evergreen Rainforest. The incredible biodiversity here arose with the retreat of the glaciers which formed these fjords. We begin at Seno Pia, a secluded fjord in the northwestern arm of the Beagle Channel with an impressively large glacier at its terminus. Next is Seno Garibaldi, part of Alberto de Agostini National Park, a dramatic region where the formidable Andes meet the sea. We will visit the Garibaldi Glacier by Zodiac and ship, marveling at this stunning wall of ice. Seno Agostini is the origin of numerous glaciers from the nearby mountains, originating at more than 6,600 feet in elevation. We will explore this region from our Zodiacs, getting close to floating brash ice and bergy bits, watching for wildlife, and hoping to witness the thundering process of glacial calving. ...

    • Isla Rupert, Chile
    Located in the Strait of Magellan, Francisco Coloane Marine Park is the largest marine protected area along the Chilean coast, and it was also the first, established in 2003. This productive area supports vast and unique biological diversity, which will be the focus of our visit. A large summer population of humpback whales uses these waters as feeding grounds, as do South American sea lions. Black and white Peale's dolphins are frequently seen, and we'll search for the endemic and endangered Chilean dolphin. Exploring the marine park by Zodiac, kayak, and on foot, we'll search for large marine and terrestrial birds including the Andean condor or the giant Antarctic petrel. On Rupert Islet we'll visit a large Magellanic penguin colony. ...

We will drive to the park, and you'll have the option to trek on foot or explore part of the park by vehicle. The landscape is big, wide, and sprawling, with some of the most dramatic mountain scenery anywhere and wildlife that includes rheas, foxes, and herds of guanaco. Discover one of the most spectacular and wildlife-rich areas in the Americas, covering 450,000 acres of glaciers, forests and grasslands, rivers and gem-colored lagoons, crowned with the pinnacles of Torres del Paine. We will also spend time closer to Puerto Natales itself and learn more about the culture and history of the indigenous people of the region.

    Cruising the Chilean Fjords, Chile

    Kirke Narrows: After a last morning in Puerto Natales, we have two days to continue our exploration of the Chilean fjords. Our captain and local pilots guide us through Kirke Narrows, accessible only to a small expedition ship such as our privately-chartered catamaran. While the wildlife of the region leaves many speechless, the combination of unspoiled scenery, national parks, and lush Magellanic forests is what makes the fjords of Chile so captivating. We continue to explore the extensive maze of pristine channels and islands, where we may explore by Zodiac and kayak or take a walk in the surrounding forest. ...

Visit the Patagonia Institute and the Salesian Museum to learn the region's archeology and wildlife. Alternatively, go for a hike in the Magallanes National Reserve, which offers outstanding views of the valley below and of Punta Arenas. Later, be on deck as National Geographic Endurance navigates the Strait of Magellan en route to Isla Magdalena. The island has been designated a national nature reserve because of its importance as a penguin breeding site. Go ashore at the penguin national nature reserve and witness Magellanic penguins in one of the most accessible Magellanic penguin rookeries in the world. Photo opportunities abound here. ...
