Skorpios takes you on a dream cruise through spectacular channels, archipelagos where nature stands in its exuberant splendor, uniquely shaped islands are scattered in the ocean, where man's presence is barely perceptible. A visit to Castro City, the Quitralco fjord with its hot springs and the San Rafael National Park with its magical 30,000-year-old glacier are all part of this tour. Leaving the ship in Castro City, the trip continues by land focusing on this beautiful part of Patagonia: Chiloé Island with all its attractions, Castro and Ancud City and other selected sights. Transfer to Puerto Montt.
