Australis offers the alternative to sail in a luxury cruiser
through the Magellan Strait and the Beagle Channel, exploring
one of the most beautiful and pristine regions of the Southern
edge of the Americas; reaching Cape Horn, the last piece of
continental ground and meeting point of the Pacific and Atlantic
Oceans. The journey goes through channels, bays and fjords,
disembarking in different points and visiting glaciers between
Punta Arenas in Chile and the Argentinian city of Ushuaia
in Tierra del Fuego. |
