A brief journey into the history of the Strait of Magellan

We start from Tree Point sailing towards Eagle Bay, where we disembarked to see the remains of an old whaling station, a testament to a fundamental era in Magellan's maritime history.

From there we began a Coastal trek to the San Isidro Lighthouse, crossing forest and coastline until reaching one of the southernmost historic lighthouses in Chile.

We visited the San Isidro Lighthouse Museum And we pause to share a coffee in our refuge, before starting the return voyage to Punta Árbol.

Benjamin Hoffmann Hidber, an environmental technician, was the one who designed our Eco-camp.

An eco-camp was built as a base of operations on the east side of Carlos III Island, connected by walkways to minimize the impact on the territory.

In parallel, with support from the Government's Innovation Fund (CORFO), the company Whalesound was founded as a logistics platform to support scientific research and outreach activities.

As a result of this discovery, associated studies, and government interest, the country's first Marine Park was created there in 2003, called Francisco Coloane Marine Park.
