Explore a slice of South American life as we cruise the coasts of Chile, Peru and Ecuador on our way to Panama. Valparaiso is our departure point, a charming and colorful if hilly city, where you will be rewarded for climbing its steep cobbled streets with sights such as the home of the late author Pablo Neruda and refreshing wines from the nearby vineyards. We continue to explore Chile at Coquimbo, beloved by locals for its beaches, and, following a day at sea, Iquique, another sandy stunner that also has a fascinating museum brimming with pre-Columbian artefacts. Relax in the spa or some time perfecting your golf swing and we sail for a day to Salaverry in Peru, home to the largest adobe citadel in the Americas predating Spanish rule. Now to Guayaquil in Ecuador, where iguanas roam – a taste of what lies just across the waters in the Galapagos Islands. Finally, we reach our destination, Fuerte Amador, where an overnight stay offers plenty of time to explore nearby Panama City.

Valparaiso, Chile

SCL

nov 29, 2027

departure 7:00 PM

Valparaíso, Chile's most artistic city, is vibrant canvas where colorful houses climb steep hills, embraced by the Pacific breeze. Founded in the 16th century, the city's history dates back to the 16th century, when Spanish explorers discovered its natural harbor. Its strategic location along the trade routes made it a crucial port, attracting ships from around the world. Today, the city's diverse architecture reflects this history, blending colonial, European, and indigenous influences. The city's cultural scene flourished during Chile's economic booms in the 19th century and attracted many intellectuals, writers, and artists. Their legacy live on: Valparaíso was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023, celebrated for its rich history and vibrant artistic culture. Its hills showcase colorful houses, connected by winding streets and iconic ascensores (funiculars). These elements are a living testament to the city's past, its role as a crossroads of cultures, and its enduring appeal to travelers seeking a taste of history and creative inspiration.

Coquimbo, Chile

nov 30, 2027

9:00 AM - 6:00 PM

7 EXCURSIONS

With its brightly colored fishing boats bobbing lazily in its harbor and wide, welcoming beaches, it's hard to miss the port of Coquimbo. Along with its twin city of La Serena, Coquimbo is known for being one of Chile's most popular seaside resorts with local and international visitors coming to experince its unique blend of culture, cuisine and charisma. Head to Barrio Ingles (English Quarter) for a taste of vibrant market life by day, not forgetting to stop by the popular street-food stalls for a taste of anticuchos (chicken leg skewers), and of course the iconic empanadas. Come sunset, the area turns into a busy, buzzy night life area, with many bars and local restaurants. While its beaches are certainly its signature appeal, Coquimbo is also home to more bucolic pastimes including historic churches, museums, impressive neocolonial architecture, and nearby national parks.

Iquique, Chile

dec 02, 2027

8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

7 EXCURSIONS

Blessed with mild, year-round temperatures, thanks to its proximity to the Pacific and the Atacama Desert, it's little wonder that Iquique appeals to those seeking sun, sand, and a laid-back vibe. Once the unrivaled capital of the saltpeter, or nitrate industry (found in fertilizer and fireworks), the town's historic center boasts palatial buildings, stoic testaments to its once thriving economy. Today, Iquique is a beacon for tourists drawn to its inviting beaches - like palm-tree fringed Playa Cavancha - exciting casinos, and duty-free shopping. A short drive outside the city is where you'll find well-preserved ghost towns, remnants from the nitrate industry's hey-day. Some, including Humberstone, are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Visitors can enjoy water sports, explore the nearby Atacama Desert, and experience the city's lively atmosphere, making Iquique one of the most enticing destinations in South America.

The gateway to Lima, Callao offers visitors the perfect balance of things to see, do, and relax. At just seven miles from the capital, you would be forgiven for thinking that Callao is simply a suburb, but this city very much has it's own identity. The old center of Callao has houses from the Lima colonial era and public squares with historical monuments, such as the stunning Plaza Miguel Grau and Plaza Independencia. The popular Punta district offers locals and visitors alike a wide variety of restaurants to choose from, most featuring the Peruvian classic, ceviche. There's also a lovely boardwalk where you can walk off your meal while soaking-in views of the sea and surrounds.

Salaverry, Peru

dec 06, 2027

11:00 AM - 8:00 PM

5 EXCURSIONS

Found about equidistant between the Ecuadorian border and Lima, Salaverry enjoys a happy placement on the Peruvian coastline. Originally a very quiet small fishing village, the fishing boats still set out at sunset, a centuries-old tradition that sustains the town. Salaverry has enjoyed expansion in recent years, notably by the surfing comunity who come here looking for a quiet place to ride the waves. However, surfing is not the town's only claim to fame. Salaverry invites exploration with its blend of history and local life and carries a rich history that stretches back to ancient times. It was originally inhabited by the Moche civilization, known for their remarkable pottery and intricate metalwork. Later, it became a significant part of the Chimú Kingdom, which thrived in the region. The town's proximity to Chan Chan, the capital of the Chimú, attests to its historical importance. Today, Salaverry stands as a blend of its ancestral roots, colonial heritage, and modern life—a destination where history whispers through its streets and cultural sites.

10 EXCURSIONS

To most seasoned travelers, Guayaquil is known for being the gateway to the Galapagos Islands. However, there's much to appreciate and enjoy about the “Pacific Pearl” all on its own. The Malecon 2000 is the beating heart and signature feature of this city. Running along the Guayas River, this promenade offers up lovely green spaces, shops and boutiques, museums, a wide variety of restaurants, handicraft market, and all kinds of entertainment options. Cast your gaze up toward the distant hills and you'll see Las Peñas, the picturesque, barrio dotted with brightly colored houses. You'll also want to look up into the trees at the Parque Seminario, where you'll spot iguanas wisely waiting out the heat of the day in the shade.

1 EXCURSION

Fuerte Amador, the gateway port to Panama City, seamlessly merges history and culture while captivating the hearts of travelers the world over. Once a defensive complex guarding the Panama Canal's entrance, it now offers a portal to Panama's past and present. The nearby Miraflores Locks Visitor Center narrates the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal, reflecting the nation's global significance, while the strategic location also provides access to the UNESCO-listed Casco Viejo district. However, visitors to Fuerte Amador would be remiss not to make the short, 8-mile, trip into Panama City. The capital city seamlessly intertwines past and present, inviting travelers to unravel its history while embracing the vigor of contemporary life—a cultural tapestry that lures explorers seeking both intellectual and sensory fulfillment. Amid the urban landscape, verdant parks and waterfront promenades provide pockets of tranquility.
