Chile cruises

Kaweskar Route

4 days / 3 nights

Aboard the Skorpios III

Departures every Tuesday (Cruise 1) and every Friday (Cruise 2), from September to May

On the Kaweskar Route, you will have the chance of getting to know ancient and new cities and villages, such as Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales and Puerto Eden. To visit them is to remember the past and exploring their streets and places of interest is very enjoyable. The Amalia, Calvo and Pio XI glaciers will astonish you with their beauty. The nature of this area is manifested through an immense variety of flora and fauna. The Lilly Ducks, Chilean Ducks, tuna, comates, cypresses, lengas, native wood forests, ferns etc, astound those who view the world from an ecological point of view. During the crossings you may view many different species of birds, on island cliffs and in the forests. Likewise tuna and dolphins can be seen swimming alongside the ship. All of the fauna at these latitudes is in its natural wild state. For which reason we ask that all of our passengers exercise extra care and in no way upset this magnificent scenery.
