MANDATORY ANTIGEN TEST FOR RE-ENTRY
As a compulsory requirement of the Chilean Healthy Authorities protocol, all guests are obliged to undergo a COVID-19 rapid antigen test before re-entering Chile.
Looming like a colossal river frozen in the icy hold of time the Garibaldi Glacier shivers down our spine that had absolutely nothing to do with the fjord weather’s chill.
A stunning unimaginably vast wedge of slowly creeping blue-white ice the glacier is a fitting climax to the voyage through the cinematic majesty of the Garibaldi Fjord.
We sailed amid tumbling waterfalls tightly-packed forestry and soaring mountains as we explored the glacier-sculpted Parque Nacional Alberto de Agostini. It is the newest member of Chile’s exclusive club of extraordinary remote National Parks.
Spread across the fractured lands of South America’s southern tip this is the dramatic region where the peaks of the Andes mountain range plunge down into the depths of the icy ocean generating some of Chile’s most spectacular scenery.
The fresh chunks of ice add to the floating confetti of tiny frozen islands all around the ship ranging in hues from creamy whites to electric blues.
It may appear like a frigid unforgiving environment at first glance but the fjord is alive with unique fauna and flora and recognized by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve. Full of diverse ecosystems we spotted penguins, sea lions, and Peruvian condors all adding to the rich tapestry of life here.
