Visit the southern-most point of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago of Chile. It is very common for large boats and ships to round Cape Horn to get to the other side of the continent although this was largely reduced with the creation of the Panama canal in 1914. Climb to the peak of the Cape Horn mountain or visit the famous lighthouse that has led countless ships on their excursion around the world. Additionally, there's an abundance of marine life in this region including South American sea lions, black-browed albatross, rockhopper penguins, humpback whales, and even kelp forests! Contact our travel experts to start planning your ideal trip to Cape Horn today!
