Tierra del Fuego

Cordillera de Darwin — The last frontier

At the southern tip of Tierra del Fuego, where maps run out of names, the Cordillera Darwin drops its glaciers straight into the sea. We sail from Caleta María through Seno Almirantazgo toward Fiordo Parry, venturing where almost no one has sailed.

Along the way you may spot black-browed albatrosses, Magellanic penguins, Peale's dolphins, sea lions and even leopard seals. We say may because nothing here is scripted: this is real nature.

Full dayDeparture from Caleta MaríaSeason: October 1 to late April

Our boat: built for the end of the world

We sail on an HDPE boat built in 2026 at the CALBUPLAST shipyards, with capacity for 14 passengers and 2 crew members, an enclosed heated cabin, a mini kitchen and a restroom. Its safety equipment includes a life raft for 18 people, VHF radio, satellite communication, GPS, Starlink, a first-aid kit, a stretcher and state-of-the-art navigation instruments, with an emergency protocol approved by the Maritime Authority.

In the most remote place in Chile, safety isn't a detail: it's the entire design of the operation.

  • Enclosed heated cabin, mini kitchen and restroom
