Crossing in the Darwin Mountain Range – Snowdrifts

If you are an expedition lover and would like to discover a different place, you have an appointment with the Chilean fjords. Now it is much easier than ever to enjoy a journey through the Chilean fjords.

On this journey you will get to know first-hand the Chilean snowdrifts, one of the wonders of nature. On this expedition you will discover a place like no other, since the properties of the fjords make it an incomparable place. The journey begins on March 1 and will last 7 days, until March 8. This will take place on the sailboat El Doblón, a sailboat that has the necessary equipment to make the stay much more comfortable by allowing you to reach places unreachable for other boats.

To enjoy this excursion you do not need much experience in navigation. The only thing you should have is a good physical condition due to the character of the expedition and a lot of desire to want to enjoy and discover new things. If you have carried out other adventure expeditions, surely you have no problem with this one.

On this journey through the Darwin Mountain Range you will be able to see a few meters from you one of the most powerful forces of nature, the icebergs. You will travel through the mythical Beagle Channel getting lost in its arms, both north and south, leaving on each side all kinds of glaciers, highlighting the twin glaciers and the great Garibaldi glacier.

If time permits, hopefully for the time of year in which we will travel, we can carry out the visit of more than 7 snowdrifts. We will pass so close to them that you can experience the advance of the ice and the noise it makes when breaking. One of the things that most impresses on these trips is the tranquility that is breathed. Because these are places where human presence is not usual, the sounds of nature are perceived in a different way, so the silence of the places will allow you to clearly hear nature in its splendor. No matter where you look, wherever you take your eyes you will see ice around you, an unparalleled place with a unique clarity that invites you to discover every corner of the area.

You will sail between mountains full of life, where a lot of waterfalls run the cleanest water you can imagine. This expedition is made for all audiences and is perfect to enjoy with the family. However, remember that it is necessary to have good health and mobility to enjoy this excursion.
