29 Nov '27Cruise overview
After enjoying the multicultural vibe of Valparaíso, we continue to explore Chile at Coquimbo, beloved by locals for its beaches, and Iquique, another sandy stunner that also has a fascinating museum brimming with pre-Columbian artefacts. Peru is next, with stops in Puerto San Martin, Callao for the vibrant capital Lima, and 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 – and then Fuerte Amador, where an overnight stay offers plenty of time to explore nearby Panama City. Next comes the thrilling experience of cruising the Panama Canal, one of the great man-made wonders of the world. We’re bound for the beach in Puerto Limón, Puerto Rico, before a relaxing day at sea takes us to Roatán – this tiny island has the second-biggest coral reef in the world. Explore Mayan treasures in Santo Tomas, Guatemala, and Belize City. Now we cross to Mexico for an overnight in Cozumel, famed for its powder sands and duty-free shops, and a day in Progreso, for tequilas on the malecón and souvenirs in the handicrafts market. A day drifting across the turquoise Caribbean brings us to our final port, lively Fort Lauderdale.
Itinerary
Valparaiso
Valparaíso’s dramatic topography—45 cerros, or hills, overlooking the ocean—requires the use of winding pathways and wooden ascensores (funiculars) to get up many of the grades. The slopes are covered by candy-color houses—there are almost no apartments in the city—most of which have exteriors of corrugated metal peeled from shipping containers decades ago. Valparaíso has served as Santiago’s port for centuries. Before the Panama Canal opened, Valparaíso was the busiest port in South America. Harsh realities—changing trade routes, industrial decline—have diminished its importance, but it remains Chile’s principal port. Most shops, banks, restaurants, bars, and other businesses cluster along the handful of streets called El Plan (the flat area) that are closest to the shoreline. Porteños (which means “the residents of the port”) live in the surrounding hills in an undulating array of colorful abodes. At the top of any of the dozens of stairways, the paseos (promenades) have spectacular views; many are named after prominent Yugoslavian, Basque, and German immigrants. Neighborhoods are named for the hills they cover. With the jumble of power lines overhead and the hundreds of buses that slow down—but never completely stop—to pick up agile riders, it’s hard to forget you’re in a city. Still, walking is the best way to experience Valparaíso. Be careful where you step, though—locals aren’t very conscientious about curbing their dogs.
