Antarctica is a bucketlist destination for many world travellers – the seventh and most remote continent, a vast block of ice and rock beyond human civilisation. No-where else will you find the scale of the Antarctic peninsula – Sail past icebergs, mountains and scientific research stations. Unlike the larger cruise ships, sailing vessels offer a more intimate interaction with the continent – experience the emptiness as the whalers and explorers of history have.
Puerto Williams is a city in southern Chile, located on the Beagle Channel. The location makes it a perfect starting point for visits to Antarctica and Cape Horn. If you’re ready for more adventures after your journey, you can go on a hike in the nearby mountains. For a more relaxed time, visit Martin Gusinde Anthropological Museum, known as the southernmost museum in the world! There you can learn about local history (dating back 10,000 years!) as well as the natural environment.
