Cape Horn National Park and Wulaia Bay
Around the break of dawn, we enter Cape Horn National Park and weather and sea conditions permitting, go ashore on the windswept island that harbours legendary Cape Horn (Cabo de Hornos). Discovered in 1616 by a Dutch maritime expedition and named after the town of Hoorn in West Friesland, Cape Horn is a sheer 425 metre high rocky promontory overlooking the turbulent waters of the Drake Passage.
For many years it was the only navigation route between the Pacific and Atlantic, and was often referred to as the "End of the Earth." The park was declared a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2005. The Chilean navy maintains a permanent lighthouse on the island.
Sailing back across Nassau Bay, we anchor at fabled Wulaia Bay, originally the site of one of the region’s largest Yámana aboriginal settlements. The area is also renowned for its mesmerising beauty, enchanting magellanic forest with lengas, coigües, canelos and ferns and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the bay.

Making our way further west along the Beagle Channel, we enter another long fjord and drop anchor near Garibaldi Glacier for another shore excursion.
Garibaldi is one of only three glaciers in Patagonia gaining mass rather than staying the same or slowly shrinking. This time we hike through virgin Magellanic forest to a glacial waterfall, a towering wall of ferns and moss, and spectacular viewpoints looking down on the glacier and fjord.
