| Puerto Williams |
| Puerto Williams is the southernmost city of the world and the jumping off point for Antarctica. Located on Navarino Island, it is seperated from the mainland by the Beagle Channel, so named after Charles Darwin's ship. | |
| The
area was once inhabitaed by Yanganes Indians and other nomads who sailed
through the southern channels in search of game and fish.

Puerto Williams the Andean range is dismembered into an archipelago as
long as the distance separating Rome and Copenhagen. This archipelago is
even in width: thousands of islands covered with flourishing vegetation,
snow capped mountains and Andean volcanoes, but behind the interior
valleys covered in jungle and strong current rivers, the vast plains of
the pampa. Thousands of places, still nameless, await the traveler. From Magallanes to the South, the land is inspiring and tells of legends that end in Cape Horn. Here the Andean range sinks into the Drake Sea to reappear 800 km further South, in the Antarctic. This large region of incredible scenery, where silence of uninhabited lands reigns over all, is a suggestion for adventure. |
