ITINERARY
Day
1 : Ushuaia, Argentina
Although
its nickname the "End of the World" - derived from its location along
the southernmost tip of South America among the Tierra del Fuego
archipelago - Ushuaia is far from the end of any adventure. Where the
Andes meet the Beagle Channel and the snow-capped Martial Mountains sit
behind a sprawling city of colorful buildings, lies a lively town ready
and waiting to take you on the thrill ride of a lifetime. Scenes like
Parque Yatana give you the chance to immerse yourself in the rich,
indigenous culture.
Day
2-3 : Drake Passage Navigation
Navigating
the intrepid Drake Passage is made for the boldest of explorers.
Petrels and albatrosses that glide across the skies guide the way. To
witness its awesome power makes the journey to Antarctica all the more
triumphant.
The
Drake Passage leads you from the southernmost region of the Americas to
the Antarctic Peninsula, the northern point of The White Continent.
This waterway where cold southern ocean meets warm northern sea water
creates powerful currents that test your mettle.
But
the rewards for the journeyer that braves these waters do not compare.
The meeting of warm and cold waters creates an environment that
attracts extraordinary wildlife. Drake Passage offers the chance to
witness the likes of humpback whales and hourglass dolphins that
accompany the voyage. The soundtrack of the 48-hour journey through the
Drake Passage includes the crash of the ocean against the ship and the
cry of petrels, skuas, and gulls.
While
the waterway is famous for its challenging navigation, you may still
get another side of the Drake Passage. On some occasions, the channel
is calm and tranquil, making for a pleasant voyage into Antarctica.
That’s one of the more splendid characteristics of the Drake
Passage - you never know what you will get.
As
you emerge from the Drake Passage, the mammoth, icy peaks of the South
Shetland Islands loom ahead, greeting you on your victorious landing.
You have completed the rite of passage to explore the seventh continent.

Day 19 : Buenos Aires,
Argentina
Few cities in South America share the ambiance and lifestyle that make
Buenos Aires so endearing. From the Plaza de Mayo to the milongas along
San Telmo’s cobbled streets, Buenos Aires is rife with
historical and cultural sites for the curious mind.
The cosmopolitan capital of Argentina lies on the western shore of the
Río de la Plata estuary. The combination of modern
skyscrapers and colonial structures blends the country’s past
and present in a way that calls out to the adventurer with a thirst for
knowledge.
In the Plaza de Mayo you find a dotting of tropical palm trees amid old
streets and buildings. The plaza holds much history as the site of the
city’s foundation in 1580, the backdrop for the revolution of
independence, and the scene of the latest political rallies.
At the heart of this historical site lies Casa Rosada, the Argentinian
equivalent of the White House, but pink. It’s more than a
novelty sight. It’s a symbol of the executive branch of
government that leads the republic. Casa Rosada is best known as the
location where famous first lady Evita Peron addressed the crowds.
A trip to Buenos Aires must include a visit to Recoleta Cemetery, the
resting grounds of the powerful, rich, and famous. Stone paths lined
with extravagant grave markers and aboveground tombs make it a
celebration of the legacies that live on long after one is gone. Dive
deep into Argentinian culture by joining an asado, a barbecue. As you
indulge in the rich flavors of Argentinian steak and Malbec, you will
come to understand and appreciate the culture’s finer points.
