Your hotel for the next 3 nights

Luciano K - Deluxe room

With some special historic architectural charm. The hotel has what it must be the prettiest Art Deco

stairwell in the city. Open-sided at the top to the air and sunshine, it leads you up to the hotel's great

draw card a surprising rooftop bar. The hotel is named after its lauded architect Luciano Kulczewski,

sometimes dubbed the Chilean Gaudi. The whalebone-like arches of the hotel's entrance hallway will

strike a chord with Barcelona architecture fans. Its restoration has now created a 38-bedroom

boutique hotel with an informal, peaceful atmosphere. Heels click across old tiles, and in the guest

rooms mellow parquet floors highlight the clean, crisp decor. Rooms at the front have a view across

to Parque Forestal's ornate multi-tiered fountain. There's no formal evening dining, but with meals

available up on the roof terrace, and the restaurants and buzzy streetlife of Lastarria's main avenue

just a stroll away.

Day 18 – Valparaiso

Today you will depart towards Valparaiso for a visit with your guide.

Once the most important port in all of South America—full of globe- trotting European residents and

their riches—this city long served as the Continent’s glamorous link to the rest of the world. Locals

(known as porteños) - an incongruous mix of artists, sailors, and students—still gather at the same

century-old bars, while Edwardian villas and Art Nouveau palaces balance on hilltops. Funiculars have

served Valparaíso since the late 1800s; ride one of these up the hills to look down at the colorful town

fringing the sea below. The port city is the cultural hub of Chile, poet Pablo Neruda once lived here,

and the residents’ creative spirit manifests itself in the vibrant tones of the multihued homes

and the bohemian murals tagging the walls.

Day 19 – Santiago to Punta Arenas

Transfer to Santiago airport to catch a flight to Punta Arenas.

Upon landing you will be transferred to your hotel.

Almirantazgo), in the Strait of Magellan that

stretches nearly halfway across Tierra del Fuego. The

snowcapped peaks of Karukinka Natural Park stretch

along the north side of the sound, while the south

shore is defined by the deep fjords and broad bays

of Alberto de Agostini National Park. We go ashore

at Ainsworth Bay, which harbors copious bird life

and a colony of southern elephant seals.

Leaving Ainsworth Bay behind, we sail west along the sound to the Tucker Islets. After lunch, we board

the Zodiacs again for a close-up view of the Magellan penguins that inhabit the tiny islands. More

than 4,000 penguins use Tucker as a place to nest, give birth and nurture their chicks. Many other bird

species also frequent the area including king cormorants, oystercatchers, Chilean skuas, kelp geese,

dolphin gulls, eagles and even the occasional Andean condor.

along the Beagle Channel through an area called Glacier

Alley. Living up to its name, the passage features a number

of impressive tidewater glaciers flowing down from the

Darwin Mountains and Darwin Ice Sheet on the north

shore.

Day 23– Cape Horn Cruise

During the early morning we navigate the narrow Murray Channel between Navarino and Hoste

islands and drop anchor at historic Wulaia Bayt. Originally the site of one of the region’s largest

Yámana aboriginal settlements, the bay was described by Charles Darwin and sketched by Captain

FitzRoy in the 1830s during their voyages on the HMS Beagle. This area is also renowned for its

mesmerizing beauty and dramatic geography.

In the afternoon we cruise across Nassau Bay into the

remote archipelago that includes Cape Horn National Park.

Weather and sea conditions permitting, we shall go ashore

on the windswept island that harbors legendary Cape Horn

(Cabo de Hornos). For many years it was the only

navigation route between the Pacific and Atlantic, and was

often referred to as the "End of the Earth." The park was

declared a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2005.

Day 24 – Disembark Ushuaia

We sail into Argentine waters and dock in Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city.

You will be transferred to your hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure.

Ushuaia is the capital and tourism base for Tierra del Fuego, the island at the southernmost tip of

Argentina. Ushuaia feels like a frontier boomtown, at heart still a rugged, weather-beaten fishing

village. Above the city rise the last mountains of the Andean Cordillera, and just south and west of

Ushuaia they finally vanish into the often-stormy sea. Snow whitens the peaks well into summer.

the landscape and culture of the region, bringing its partnership with the rural setting.

best way to see the hill is by walking a 3-km (2-mile) loop called the Paseo de Siete Colores, which

starts to the left of the church on the main square. The road passes a few family farms and ends with

a striking view of the Cerro itself before bringing you back to the center of Purmamarca. The colors

are most clearly visible in the morning.

Your guide will take you back to Salta.
