Charter Itinerary from M/Y Sherakhan
 
Patagonia, Chile

Day 1: Embark in Pinta Arenas, after you have settled in on the Sherakhan, leave to Puerto Hope. Puerto Hope has a wonderful natural harbor sitting between high mountains covered with beautiful forests.


Day 2: In the morning leave Puerto Hope to reach Seno Agostini. Seno Agostini runs SE, between spectacular peaks and impressive tidewater glaciers. The scenery is among the best in Tierra del Fuego. At the end of the channel you will see two spectacular walls of ice, which are part of Cordillera Darwin. In the evening arrive at the Caleta Escandallo to spend the night. Caleta Escandallo is a wide bay surrounded by magnificent scenery. Monte Sariento is close by for hiking expeditions.


Day 3:   Leave Caleta Escandallo in the morning to cruise to Punta Piramida. From there it is 30 minutes sailing to our destination of Fiordo Alacaluf. At the end of Fiordo Alacaluf is a magnificent double faced glacier. We will also see a large waterfall and Cormorant nests on the cliff near the glacier.

Day 4: In the morning sail through Canal Cockburn to Seno Ocasion. Seno Ocasion is one of the most spectacular areas of Tierra del Fuego. At  the head there is a wide, circular basin surrounded by high peaks and vertical granite walls. It's a wonderful place to hike with a sparkling emerald lake just ten minutes away spilling  into a  waterfall into the basin. An easy hour's climb up from the basisn is rewarded with spectacular views in all directions.


Day 5: Sail through Canal Ballenero and Brazo Noroeste towards Seno Garibaldi. Seno Garibaldi cuts between high mountains and is headed by one of the finest glaciers in the area. This glacier is particularly active, with huge ice blocks calving off of the glacier face into the water. A sea lion colony lives in the inlet, which is easily located by their noisy howls.


Day 6: Cruise from Seno Garibladi to Seno Pia, which is truly spectacular with a direct view of a pillared façade of ice rising out of the water. Drop anchor in Caleta Beaulieu and spend the night.
 


The Beagle Channel

Day 7: This last leg of the itinerary will cruise through the beautiful Beagle Channel towards Ushuaia. The Southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia is located in a dramatic setting beneath the jagged peaks of the Montes Martial, which rise from sea level to more than 130m. On the waterfront, there are three great museums, offering exhibits on Fuegian natural history, aboriginal life, the early penal colonies, and offering a rare opportunity to see Andean condors, though unfortunately stuffed, not live. One museum is inside a now closed prison featuring one of the best collections of Antarctic ship models in the world.


Day 8: Disembark in Ushuaia.
