Punta Arenas is a city in Chilean Patagonia, located on the Strait of Magellan. It is one of the world's most southerly cities and has historically been a crucial port. Originally a penal colony, it grew prosperous from sheep farming and gold rushes in the late 19th century. Today, it serves as a major hub for Antarctic expeditions and a gateway for tourists visiting nearby natural attractions like Torres del Paine National Park.

Day 4: Ainsworth Bay - Tuckers Islets
The Tuckers Islets are a small group of islands and rocky outcrops located in the Strait of Magellan in Chilean Patagonia. This remote location is a haven for wildlife and is particularly famous for its large breeding colonyof Magellanic penguins. Visitors can observe the penguins from Zodiac boats as they waddle to and from the sea and nest in their burrows. The islands are also home to a variety of other bird species, including imperial shags, kelp geese, and cormorants, and it's also possible to spot sea lions in the area.

Day 5: Pia Glaciar - Glacier Alley
Pa Glacier is a spectacular tidewater glacier located in Chilean Patagonia, specifically in the Pa Fjord on the northwestern arm of the Beagle Channel. It is part of the Darwin Range, with its immense ice face flowing directly from the mountains into the sea. The glacier is a highlight of many expedition cruises that navigate "Glacier Alley," a passage featuring several impressive tidewater glaciers. Visitors can take Zodiac boats to get a closer look at the towering ice walls and may even witness the dramatic calving events, where large chunks of ice break off and crash into the water below.

Day 6: Cape Horn - Wulaia Bay
Cape Horn, or Cabo de Hornos, is the southernmost headland of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago in southern Chile. Although it is not the most southerly point of mainland South America, it holds a legendary status as one of the world's most perilous shipping routes. Today, Cape Horn is a destination for adventurous sailors and cruise ships. The rugged, windswept island is part of the Cabo de Hornos National Park and features a monument to the lost sailors, a sculpture of an albatross, which in maritime lore, symbolizes the souls of those who perished at sea.

Day 7: Ushuaia, Argentina
Ushuaia, often called the "End of the World," is a bustling port city in Argentina, located at the southernmost tip of South America. Nestled on the main island of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, it is framed by the snow-capped Martial Mountains and the icy waters of the Beagle Channel. The city itself offers a range of activities, from visiting the old prison (now a museum) to exploring the main street with its shops, restaurants, and tour agencies.
