Day 3 Not everyone is at breakfast this morning 🍳 the ship rocked quite a bit during the night. ⛴️🌬️🌊 We woke up around 5am because we almost rolled out of bed. On the route...

Days 1 On March 11, 2004, our long-awaited dream trip began: with the "Stella Australis", a smaller ship through the fjords from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia. Now you're probably...

Now we have arrived in Torres del Paine for the third time 😀 one of the most beautiful parts of the world for us. The starting point for the visit is Puerto Natales. Here too,...

What should we write? The pictures speak for themselves. At 8 in the morning we took the ship on a trip to the Balmaceda and Serrano Glacier. A short hike to the glacier, lunch...

.. from Puerto Montt to Punta Arenas. Unfortunately, the visibility was not as clear as in 2018. We could only see a large glacier and a lake through the clouds. We don't want...

One last wonderful dinner at Terra Luna Lodge overlooking the lake. Then it was time to say goodbye and the lake showed itself at its best once again. Blue sky, bright colors on...

You can get lucky sometimes 😀🍀 The lodge offers excursions to glaciers. We flirted with it and asked the organizer. He travels a lot and there was only one day left that was...

So, internet again today, the program goes a little further. The tourist highlight in Puerto Rio Tranquilo are the marble caves. They even made it onto the Windows screen saver...

The Lord placed culture before the lake. We visited a museum and a signposted trail to the cave paintings at Cerro Castillo. This was the first time in the 700 km that something...

The park is a former nature conservation project of the millionaire Douglas Tompkins, so it was founded and financed privately. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumalín-Park The...

Get out of bed at 4 a.m., gratefully accept the offered breakfast to go and move on. The first ferry from La Arena to Caleta Puelche is first come first go. Everything simple....

Always beautiful. A view hangs in the airport to welcome us. And globalization strikes: payment with your cell phone, American food and ABBA in the background 🗺️

Another 4 hours to Santiago de Chile and then another 2 hours to Puerto Montt ✈️✈️✈️ will be enough 😴

And now it's finally really starting 🚋 from Bad Homburg to the airport and on the plane to Sao Paulo ✈️ Start is supposed to be 8.50 p.m. We're still standing in the long queue...
