Going to the end of the earth doesn't have to feel that way. Explore Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego on the Via or the Stella, two deluxe passenger ships known for their safety, their comfort, and their style. All outdoor cabins overlook large glaciers, forests, and snow-capped mountains, and each day of adventure is followed by a long, Spanish dinner full of local and regional specialties, from oysters and king crab to Argentine beef and Magallanes lamb.

Discover Patagonia's glaciers, its blue-green lakes and the mountains that surround them on one of the oldest and most respectable cruise lines in Chile: Skorpios. You can choose from one of two basic routes: The classic San Rafael Route (from Puerto Montt to the San Rafael Glacier and the Northern Ice Fields, sailing on M/V Skorpios II) or Kaweskar Explorers' Route (from Puerto Natales to Puerto Eden, visiting the Southern Ice Fields, sailing on M/V Skorpios III).

Aboard the M/V Mare Australis enjoy comfortable accommodations and a welcoming crew as you sail to San Rafael Lagoon. Departing from Castro, the oldest city of the Isla Grande of Chiloe, we travel to the Lagoon crossing the Corcovado Gulf. San Rafael Lagoon was formed by the retreat of the San Rafael Glacier in the Northern Patagonia Ice Field and was declared a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1979.

Chile's southern southern lake district—its towering glaciers, its snow-capped volcanoes and mountains—aboard the M/V Evangelistas, a freight and passenger ferryboat built in Japan and refurbished in Chile in 2000. 123-meters-long and 21-meters-wide, with thirty-eight cabins, one hundred and thirty-two berths, exterior passageways, a vast deck and upper terrace, a bar and restaurant, the M/V Evangelistas itself is comfortable, spacious and elegant and your tour expertly designed to showcase the lake district's highlights.

Set on the banks of Dorita Bay in Patagonia, the Puyuhuapi, Hotel & Spa's is for travelers after tranquility (and adventure), from thermal pools, seaweed treatments and massages to its surroundings—the thick rain forest, fjords and Quelat National Park. Each day you will start a revitalizing experience: trekking through the verdant rainforest, excursions to the Queulat National Park, fly fishing, bike riding on the Carretera Austral or sailing in kayaks through the fjords of southern Chile.
