October 15 to 26, 2017 Dear Tulane Traveler: “It is scarcely possible to imagine anything more beautiful than the beryl-like blue of these glaciers,” wrote Charles Darwin, awestruck by the unique iridescent blue-green ice while cruising southern Argentina and Chile in 1833. From the legendary Tierra del Fuego archipelago to magnifi cent glacier-studded fjords and sweeping pampas grasslands, you too can experience the extremes and contrasts of this spectacular tip of South America— Patagonia—which crosses the Andes Mountains from the Pacifi c to the Atlantic. On this exclusive land and sea journey, retrace the travels of Darwin and Ferdinand Magellan in southern Chile, a wild landscape still virtually untouched even more than a century after the fi rst European settlers. Discover extraordinary Santiago and the stunning diversity of Patagonia, and travel through the magnifi cent Glacier Alley to the tip of Cape Horn, the “edge of the world.” In the bustling cities of Santiago and Punta Arenas, discover a unique mix of native and European cultures and an impressive array of architectural styles. Visit an award-winning winery in Santiago, enjoy stunning views of the snowcapped Andes, and walk the Plaza de Armas and its 19th-century mansion-lined square in Punta Arenas. Travel into the vast expanse of Patagonia to see sparkling glaciers, unique wildlife and the iconic mountain peaks of Torres del Paine National Park. Follow in the wake of Darwin and HMS Beagle, aboard the expedition ship M.V. STELLA AUSTRALIS, designed specifi cally for cruising the magnifi cent waterways of southern Patagonia, where the mountains meet the ocean. The Chilean fjords offer, among their hidden islands and narrow channels, some of the world’s best viewing of tidewater glaciers, subantarctic woodlands and marine wildlife—Andean condors, humpback whales, Peale’s dolphins and rare Chilean dolphins. Cruise through two of the most historically signifi cant passages in world exploration—Beagle Channel and the Strait of Magellan— an awe-inspiring and unforgettable experience. An onboard team of multilingual expert naturalists will enrich your expedition with their in-depth knowledge of the region’s history, natural wonders and wildlife. The ship is equipped with Zodiac landing craft for excursions to observe glaciers up close as they crack and calve; the unique local wildlife, like Magellanic penguins, elephant seals and cormorants; and traces of the Yámanas, the original settlers of Wulaia Bay. Join us for this incredible voyage of a lifetime to the southern edges of the world. Book now while Early Booking Savings and space are still available! For Tulane,

Three centuries later, HMS Beagle became the fi rst ship to completely sail east to west through its namesake channel, which separates the main island of Tierra del Fuego from the smaller islands that stretch down to Cape Horn. This was the Beagle’s second voyage to Patagonia, now under the command of Admiral Robert FitzRoy and with young naturalist Charles Darwin on board. Experience the same wonderment of these intrepid explorers as you cruise through these mesmerizing landscapes that still look much as they did when Magellan discovered them nearly 500 years ago. So as not to spoil Patagonia’s unsurpassed beauty, the M.V. STELLA AUSTRALIS is fi tted with the latest technology to meet environmental regulations and leave minimal impact on the navigation routes.

Easter Island’s unique stone moai lend an element of mystery to the landscape of this diminutive island.

Centuries ago, people settled on this tiny island, a mere 64-square-mile speck amid the vast Pacifi c Ocean, more than 1200 miles from any other inhabited land. Many questions remain as to how and when they arrived here and why they sculpted the hundreds of gigantic stone moai placed across the island. Visit its most important sites, including the basalt quarry from which the moai were carved, the white sand beach said to be the landing site of the island’s fi rst settler, and the village central to the curious ceremonial Birdman culture, predominant until the arrival of Christian missionaries.
