Ruta Kaweskar

AM: Registro en la terminal Skorpios antes de las 11:00 h el día de salida de tu crucero, seguido de la charla de seguridad a bordo, en un lugar que se indicará.

PM: Después del almuerzo, inicio de la navegación por el Golfo Almirante Montt rumbo a Caleta Juárez en el Fiordo Guardramiro y observación de elefantes marinos. Regreso al barco cruzando los estrechos Kirke, Morla Vicuña, Unión, Collingwood y Sarmiento.

AM: Navegando hasta el final del Canal Pitt, más allá de la Isla Chatham, encontramos en el lado de babor la entrada al Fiordo Guillard o Sine. Una pequeña entrada entre montañas flanquea su acceso y, lentamente, el MV Skorpios III recorre este maravilloso fiordo de 10 millas hasta el lugar donde anclaremos. Su gran belleza es sobrecogedora; rodeados, como estamos, por enormes montañas de un intenso verde, con sus altas cumbres coronadas por hielo y nieve eternos. Una vez anclados en este lugar, ante nosotros aparece un glaciar hermoso e imponente: el Guillard, que desciende de la cordillera de los Andes para depositar su hielo en una enorme morrena glacial, con un delta fluvial.

PM: In the afternoon, boat exploration through the Glacier’s channels and navigation to Sarratea Bay and return to the ship. Dinner will be served on board.

AM: Early sailing to the Southern Ice Field glaciers is an unforgettable experience for those travelers who enjoy exploring and visiting unique far off places. To watch the elongated silhouette of the Amalia Glacier falling from the Andes Mountains and coming down to embrace Mount Reclus is an incredible sight, as are its blue ice towers that soar to a height of 90 meters and span a width of 3 kilometres. Its extraordinarily varied ice floes contrast with the surrounding rocks that show the faint presence of incipient mosses. Motor Vessel Skorpios III crosses this area slowly in order to give its passengers a panoramic view of this marvelous glacier and its surroundings.

PM: While sailing through the Patagonian channels and look at the marvelous natural beauties that surround us, we come to the El Brujo Glacier, an enormous ice block with a smooth rock surface on one side. The passengers will take to the boats in order to get a closer look at this glacier. They will debark on a rock known as “Garbo” rock, where they can walk along the glacier and look at the way in which the ice crawls down, smoothing these rocks for millennia. The summits of this natural amphitheatre are always covered with snow and their slopes abound in trees and vegetation.

AM: Visit to the Fjord of the Mountains, where you will be able to look at four glaciers which descend from the Sarmiento Mountain Range to the sea, two of which are in our logbook. Then visit the Alsina Glacier, boat exploration of the surroundings. Back in the ship, we will continue sailing toward the Fjord of the Mountains and the Bernal Glacier, where we will disembark and hike through a small native forest and along a path across a small glacial water lagoon. We continue the hike over the frontal and lateral moraines until we reach the front of the glacier. From here we will have the opportunity to touch some ice and watch the receding phase of a glacier that no longer reaches the sea. Return to the ship, which is performing a supplying maneuver acquiring pure, natural water from a waterfall. This is the water consumed on board for all the ship’s services.

PM: In the afternoon, we will go to the Herman Glacier, at the end of a small fjord surrounded by colorful vegetation and abundant fauna, and sail through its ice floes and look at its colorful blue front.

AM: After an overnight cruise that takes us back to Puerto Natales, we anchor off before 07.00h and disembarkation is scheduled for around 08.00h to 9.30h
