THURSDAY:
Cape Horn - Wulaia Bay
We sail along Beagle Channel and Murray Channel to disembark in Cape Horn National Park. Cape Horn, an almost 425-metre-high promontory where both Pacific and Atlantic Ocean meet, was discovered in 1616 by the Dutch commercial expedition organized by Isaac Le Maire. It was named after Hoorn, where the expedition had set sail. In the afternoon we disembark in Wulaia Bay, a historical place since it used to be one of the biggest natives' settlement in the region. This place offers a visual unique show due to its vegetation and geography. We reach a viewpoint by walking through the Magellan forest in which there are lengas (Nothofagus pumilio), coihues (Nothofagus dombeyi), Winter's barks and ferns among several species.

Günter Plushow Glacier
We disembark in Günter Plushow Glacier for a hike near the glacier and closely appreciate this wonderful millennial ice mass.

Early in the morning we disembark in Magdalena Island, the home of a huge colony of over 120000 Magellan penguins. We can appreciate it while hiking to the lighthouse that guides the different ships on their sailing along the Strait of Magellan. As our visit finishes, we
return to Punta Arenas to disembark at 11:30 h. Our adventure is over.
