Overview
Explore one of the most remote corners of Patagonia by sailing to Cape Froward, the southernmost point of the American continent. This experience combines sea and mountain in a completely pristine environment, where the geography, climate, and feeling of isolation set the pace for the day. Throughout the day, you will delve into little-intervened landscapes, with open views of the Strait of Magellan and a direct connection to the southernmost nature. A journey designed for those looking to step out of the conventional and truly reach the end of the continent.
