Steve will lead the customary nightly wrap up resuming the day's sightings and briefing for the next day. With a picnic lunch we will explore several forested areas on our way to join the Cahuella the evening will be spent aboard in the protected, yet beautiful bay where our professional staff and chef await your arrival for a sunset dinner. Untouched Chiloe Setting sail early, the Cahuella will take us ever south amidst the seemingly endless canals and islands of the Chiloe Archipelago where human presence still has not made its mark. We will enter the isolated San Pedro Canal winding our way through the Guamolat Canal to access Chiloe's southernmost secrets. Here we will witness nesting Cormorants and Magellanic Penguins, and even a Sea Lion colony.
Evening promises a secure cove, a gourmet meal and sunset over the pacific.
Day 5 - The Gulf of Ancud Glaciers ease into view and the Andes loom ever larger as we head to the Patagonian mainland during this day of motorsailing. Day 6 - Pumalin Forest and mountain birds abound in the old growth temperate rainforest wilderness of Pumalin Park with its giant stands of the cypress, Alerce, which at 3600 years of age is the second longest living tree on the planet. Born from the endless glaciers, numerous waterfalls are always within view as we cruise this roadless, virgin paradise. As expected, a spectacular gourmet dinner on board Cahuella and Patagonian sunset will set the scene for the ocean sounds to coax us to sleep. One last hedonistic soak in the hot springs at Llancahue Island and then lunch in Hornopir n.
