The Majestic Darwin Range
The Darwin Range, located in the heart of the Alberto de Agostini National Park on the island of Tierra del Fuego, rises impressively within the Chilean landscape. This natural treasure, part of the great Andes Mountains, remains in a pristine state, marked by peaks reaching notable heights, with Mount Shipton standing tall at 2,469 meters above sea level, the highest point of the Range on the island.
As we sail west through the Beagle Channel, the mountains rise higher, signaling our imminent arrival at the majestic Darwin Range. In this magnificent setting, the «senos» glaciers advance continuously, accumulating snow and ice in a perpetual cycle. We’ll venture into the Seno Pía and España fjords, and if weather conditions permit, we’ll circle around Isla Gordon to discover its charming coves.
Unforgettable Natural Spectacles
Within the fjords, we’ll witness one of nature’s most sublime spectacles. The snow-capped mountains and massive glaciers will take your breath away, while curious birds welcome us without fear. We’ll have the opportunity to disembark and explore this wild environment, delving into the forest and roaming the pristine shores. Life pulses in every corner, and approaching the glaciers allows us to witness the impressive sight of seracs breaking off and crashing into the water with a thunderous roar.
From Ushuaia to Puerto Williams
After organizing our gear on board, we’ll formalize our departure with the authorities before embarking on our journey to Puerto Williams, where we’ll complete Chile’s immigration and customs procedures. After about 4 to 5 hours of sailing, we’ll manage our entry into Chile and request permission to sail in the fjord region, known for being the authorized territory for sports navigation.
Our course will take us westward, exploring the Beagle Channel and passing by iconic places such as Murray Channel, Lapataia Bay, and Yendegaia Bay, with the hope of finding refuge in Caleta Olla if the weather permits. Here, we can explore a nearby glacier just a short walk away.
We will continue our journey sailing through the Beagle Channel’s Northwest Arm, admiring majestic glaciers like Italia, Alemania, and Romanche. Our next stop could be at Julia or within the Pía Fjord, where we will marvel at the grandeur of the glaciers extending to the fjord’s edge.
In the España Fjord, the impressive Ventisquero España, standing at a towering 450 meters, will leave us breathless. Additionally, we will witness the grandeur of other glaciers whose tongues of ice extend majestically into the water, providing an unparalleled spectacle.
If conditions allow, we will circle around Isla Gordon to reach the Beagle Channel’s Southwest Arm through the Barros Merino Channel. Upon arriving at Estero Coloane, we will find an anchorage among mountains and islets, from where we can closely appreciate two other magnificent glaciers.
We will continue our journey sailing through the Southwest Arm eastward, crossing the narrowest section of the Beagle Channel, where currents can reach up to 5 knots. Upon reaching the eastern end of Isla Gordon, we will once again see the point where the Beagle Channel splits, heading back towards Puerto Williams.
Based on the distances sailed on previous days, we may need this additional day to complete the journey to Ushuaia, our final destination. Additionally, according to the pre-arranged plan, we will have the opportunity to discover other sites that have not yet been included in our route. Our direction can be adjusted during the voyage to suit current conditions.
