3 Ways to explore South America Via water:
Ecuador
Aqua Expeditions, renowned for its opulent river excursions in Southeast Asia and the Amazon, is a newcomer to the Galápagos. The 150-foot, four-deck superyacht Aqua Mare, which was created in Italy and provides an intimate experience with just seven staterooms, was unveiled by the firm in May. A cinema theatre, an outdoor exercise space, satellite internet, and regional food prepared by Peruvian chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino are all available. There are kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkelling, and hiking excursions included in all-inclusive packages. Prepared to indulge? 860 square feet make up the Owner’s Suite.
Chile
Patagonia is typically explored by land, but passengers on Navimag’s new custom-built ferry, Esperanza, will see a slow-moving backdrop of spouting whales, sparkling glaciers, and snowy peaks as they sail between Puerto Montt and Puerto Natales in southern Chile. The four-day, 1,000-mile journey passes via several of the most visited national parks in the nation as well as Chiloé Island. Expect substantial cuisine, aboard yoga and tai chi, modest but cosy cabins with private toilets, and an all-English-speaking staff during high season.
Colombia
The lazily used Ro Magdalena will host its first multiday cruise in 2019 aboard an all-suite vessel from AmaWaterways, with excursions and experiences chosen by Metropolitan Touring, a South American tour provider. Begin at Barranquilla and finish in Mompox, which is now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its historic architecture and contribution to Simón Bolvar’s Latin American freedom struggle. Kayaking, hiking, and bird-watching will all be included in the seven-night itinerary.
