During sailing you will have the opportunity to see different expressions of fauna such as: the world's largest birds, condors and albatross, giant petrels, penguins, wild geese and ducks, large flightless "steamer ducks," seals, and occasionally whales and orcas (Killer Whales). We stay on our course West along the Beagle Channel to the place where the Beagle Channel divides in two branches to the picturesque South Seas type Pot harbor (Caleta Holla).
