説明
Journey from the Pacific coast of Chile to Bolivia’s remote river-accessible frontier during a distinctive 27-day private expedition through six South American countries. Beginning in Valparaiso, the itinerary travels south through Patagonia, crosses from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and continues through Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. Its final stage follows the Paraguay River north through Paraguay to the Puerto Busch region of Bolivia, combining ocean cruising, cultural capitals, monumental natural attractions and remote inland waterways.
About Our 27-Day Pacific-to-Paraguay River Expedition
Valparaiso’s historic waterfront and established maritime infrastructure provide a compelling starting point for this complex itinerary. Professional embarkation arrangements and support from approximately 30 crew members create a polished beginning to the long-distance experience.
Bolivia is landlocked and cannot be reached by a conventional ocean-going coastal call. This proposed itinerary therefore uses the navigable Paraguay River system to approach Puerto Busch, Bolivia’s river-accessible location near the Pantanal. Vessel draft, bridge clearance, seasonal river depth and port infrastructure must be confirmed in advance. A suitable support or river vessel and overland transfers may be required for inland stages, including Foz do Iguaçu. All routing remains dependent on weather, navigation assessments, border formalities and local permissions.

About the 80m Four-Deck Luxury Yacht
The principal yacht offers expansive accommodation and refined social spaces across four decks. Venetian, Arabic and Greek influences enrich interiors finished with intricate waterjet-cut stonework, elegant materials and broad windows. A circular atrium and glass elevator connecting three decks form an impressive architectural centre, complemented by panoramic lounges and multiple dining environments.
Facilities include a private pool, sundeck jacuzzi, sunpads, beach club and swimming platform. A movie theatre, gym, sauna, steam room, massage room and beauty facilities support comfort during the itinerary’s longer passages. Where river dimensions prevent the principal yacht from proceeding inland, arrangements would transition to a technically appropriate vessel without misrepresenting the navigational limitations.
From Two Oceans to Bolivia’s Remote River Frontier
This expedition stands apart through the geographical ambition of its route and the variety of environments encountered along the way. Approximately 30 crew members provide discreet, personalised hospitality aboard the principal yacht, while specialist arrangements can be coordinated for the inland section. For travellers seeking an unconventional South American experience supported by thoughtful planning, privacy and exceptional comfort, the journey offers a genuinely memorable alternative to a standard coastal charter.
