Mare Australis and Via Australis are the new expedition cruise ships of Cruceros Australis in the waters off Patagonia (900,000 square kilometers in the south portion of the continent) and Tierra del Fuego (at the very bottom of Patagonia). From your outside cabin, you will see spectacular views of glaciers, forests and mountains as we cross from Chile to Argentina. Yampu travelers will also tour Santiago and Buenos Aires.

Prior to the cruise we will visit the towering granite “cuernos” or horns as they are called in Torres del Paine National Park, and which are perhaps the best-known image of Chile. Enormous glaciers mark the northern boundary of the park. This is the southern extreme of the Patagonia Ice field— the world’s largest.

We will also spend two days in Santiago to visit this fascinating and modern city. Near Santiago we may visit Vina del Mar and Valparaiso, Valle Nevado, Isla Negra and the Pablo Neruda Museum or the wineries Cousińo Macul winery and Concha y Toro. Trip ends in Buenos Aires, Argentina, we will spend three fantastic days touring this cosmopolitan city.

This tour includes international airfare from London (UK), on non-holiday dates. You do not need to fly via London; Yampu will fly you the most direct way to your city of destination. Depending on your travel dates and proximity of travel, we will quote you the most economical surcharge from your city or country of origin.
