Cruise Around the Horn in 13 Days from Chile to Argentina

Patagonia, Penguins, Picturesque Views
Next month, I will take a 13-day, 3-country (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay) cruise in South America where I will visit the southern-most city in the world; see spectacular scenery of fjords, glaciers, snow-capped volcanos, forests and more; walk up close and personal among penguins in their natural habitat; and a chart the same waters daring seafarers did years ago-at the point where the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean meet, around Cape Horn.  I will spend 3 days after the cruise in the bustling, colorful city of Buenos Aires.

I will enjoy views from my 65 sq ft balcony in my 275 sq ft suite.  Fortunately, I will take non stop flights from Miami-Santiago and from Buenos Aires to Miami.
