EXPLORING TIERRA DEL FUEGO NATIONAL PARK
Before embarking on your exhilarating expedition to Antarctica, marvel upon scenes of subantarctic Patagonia at the southernmost national park, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A panoramic coach tour takes you through scenic landscapes of spectacular lakes, glaciers, mountains, waterfalls and forests that inspire awe and wonder.
**CAPTAIN'S CHOICE:
Your Captain will expertly navigate ice floes, icebergs and changing sea and weather conditions to ensure you experience the most from your expedition. Each day is a new adventure filled with a spontaneous sense of exploration as your captain works with the expedition team to determine possible shore landings and zodiac safaris. All itinerary routes serve as examples and are subject to change based on current conditions, prioritizing the safety and optimal expedition experience for everyone.
