Discovered in 1616, Cape Horn stands as a towering 425-meter high rocky promontory. It held significant navigational importance for sailboats traversing between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, earning the moniker "End of the Earth". Recognized for its ecological significance, the area was designated as a World Biosphere Reserve in 2005, further highlighting its significance beyond its historical maritime role.

Making our way further west along the Beagle Channel, we enter another long fjord and drop anchor near Garibaldi Glacier for another shore excursion. Garibaldi is one of only three glaciers in Patagonia gaining mass rather than staying the same or slowly shrinking. This time we hike through virgin Magellanic forest to a glacial waterfall, a towering wall of ferns and moss, and spectacular viewpoints looking down on the glacier and fjord. The walk is demanding -- very steep, negligible trail, rough footing -- and not for everyone. For those who choose to stay onboard, our captain will point the bow towards the beautiful sky blue Garibaldi Glacier so everyone can enjoy the panoramic view from the upper decks.

In the morning, enjoy breakfast and sail through Brecknock, Ocasión, Cockburn, and Magdalena Channels to enter the spectacular De Agostini Sound, at the heart of Darwin Mountain Range. There, observe glaciers descending the mountain all the way down to the sea. This extraordinary landscape mixing the Sea and moutnain Worlds offers a breathtaking view. On the afternoon, board on Zodiac boats and sail towards Aguila Glacier, where you will disembark and take an easy walk to the base of the Glacier. Experience the beauty of Patagonia's cold rainforest and witness how the power of nature shaped the area's landscapes. Sail back to the Stella Australis for the rest of the day.

Then, after a 4 days journey through Patagonia's Glaciers and amazing landscapes, disembark around 11:30 am at Punta Arena.
