When we entered Puerto Las Vacas  we were told to take a hike . We didn't see any cows but this greeted us instead

Both of us were having some knee issues so we walked around the boat a little

Although we spent seven weeks and 49 days on the Royal Princess earlier this year going around South America,  I  was unable to make it to Antarctica. As others have mentioned it was quite a pricey trip with no guarantee of a refund if cancelled due to weather.

The highlight for us was the Falkland Islands and able to spend time with the Penquins.

It's about a 3 hour ride to Torres del Paine and it involves crossing into Chile so we left at 08:00 . We did stop for a couple photos like these Rhea .

The boarder crossing meant paperwork for both countries and being stamped in and out twice .
