CHILEAN eco-adventure operator explora, whose popular Hotel Salto in the Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia has been operating for 20 years, has joined forces with Cruceros Australis to combine cruising through the Strait of Magellan and the Beagle Channel with explora's land activities.
The nine-day itineraries have been carefully created to showcase the best of both the Chilean and Argentine sides of Patagonia and to help travellers maximise their time in the region in one comprehensive package.
The programs will include four nights at explora's lodge to explore by foot or horseback the peaks, glaciers, lakes and rich flora and fauna of Torres del Paine National Park.
This adventure will be complemented by four nights aboard either the Via Australis or Stella Australis to journey past Cape Horn, Wulaia and Ainsworth Bays and Tucker Islet and Magdalena Island.
The journey can be started in either Chile or Argentina and is priced from $4970 per person twin share.
It includes four nights' accommodation at Salto Chico, four nights cruise accommodation (both with all meals and bar) a series of talks on glaciology, wildlife, bird watching and ethnography, daily shore excursions (small groups max seven passengers) and daily full or half day explorations either by foot or horseback accompanied by expert bilingual guides.
The programs begin in October and have numerous monthly departures until March, 2014.
