Puerto Montt, Chile
In this idyllic setting, surrounded by national parks, lakes and mountains, it's easy to understand why people come here to enjoy the outdoors "South-American style." Imagine sipping fine Chilean wine and enjoying some sausage after a few hours of testing your skills on the bountiful trout waters in the area.

Montevideo, Uruguay
This walking city is a haven of open-air cafés and European-inspired squares. Don't miss the Museo de Gaucho, a fascinating look into the cowboy life, South American style. Even though Montevideo is surrounded by a continuous stretch of white-sand beach, you're never more than a taxi ride away from a museum, art gallery or a theater.

Lima, (Callao) Peru
The cultural and economic heart of Peru, Lima once served as the seat of power for the Spanish Empire of South America. Lima is home to fine museums of archeology, art and even gold. The catacombs beneath the Church of San Francisco are a sight to behold as are the thousands of antique texts you'll find in the library of the adjoining monastery.

Cape Horn, Chile
Here you will find Horn Island, the southernmost point of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, and the Americas for that matter. This is also the place you'll find the confluence of the mighty Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Wildlife is abundant, and our onboard naturalist will be on hand to point out the highlights of this diverse ecosystem.

Buenos Aires, Argentina
Birthplace of the Tango, and known as the Paris of the South, this cosmopolitan business center is rich in charm and culture. There are opera houses, museums and cathedrals that rival any in Europe. Puerto Madero, the city's oldest port, has been transformed into a vibrant restaurant and boutique center.

Valparaiso, Chile
The entire town of Valparaiso seems to precariously hang on precipitous cliffs, crisscrossed by narrow, twisting footpaths, stairways and the city's time-tested rapid transit system of funicular cars called ascensores. If you've never ridden one, you're in for a treat.

Straits Of Magellan
This 360-mile strait isolates the Tierra del Fuego archipelago from the rest of the South American continent, and is named after the ambitious Portuguese explorer and mariner Ferdinand Magellan. You'll retrace Magellan's route as you make the shortest crossing from Atlantic to Pacific between two land masses this side of the Panama Canal.

Punta Arenas, Chile
Punta Arenas is the southernmost point on the contiguous South American continent. It overlooks the Strait of Magellan and Otway Sound, home to colonies of sea lions and Magellanic penguins. Punta Arenas is also one of the few places on earth where you can snow ski while looking out over an ocean.

Puerto Madryn, Argentina
The gateway to Patagonia, Puerto Madryn serves as a great base camp for explorers of all levels and abilities. You can venture into one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. This glacier-dotted landscape sometimes resembles a moonscape more than terra firma. Rich in wildlife and native flora, the Andean national parks and the Peninsula Valdes are also within reach of Puerto Madryn.

Port Stanley, Falkland Is
The English and the Argentineans aren't the only ones who lay claim to these rocky outcrops north of the Strait of Magellan. Trout, whales, black-browed albatrosses, elephant seals, sea lions, and no fewer than five species of penguin also consider the Falklands their bequeathed domain.

Manta, Ecuador
This port city affords the visitor unprecedented access to ancient Manta culture, including the small rafts once used by the Manta circa 500 - 1500 AD. A short jaunt from the port is the Bahia de Manta. There you'll find el Parque Nacional Machalilla with its cloud forests, archeological sites and colonies of nesting seabirds.

Fuerte Amador, Panama
This once-strategic island was off limits to anyone without military security clearance. That is, until it was turned over to the Panamanian authorities. They have found a much better use for the island, and Celebrity guests are among the first to be able to take advantage of the island's beauty and serenity.

Chilean Fjords
These are some of the most magnificent fjords in the world. As your eyes work their way up the jagged walls of mammoth glaciers, you may be rewarded with an Andean condor sighting. On the ocean's surface, the Magellanic penguins always put on a good show.

Arica, Chile
Arica is an oasis, literally. Bordered by desert sand dunes and fertile valleys fed by the melting and life-giving snows of the Andes, this city is located in the heart of some culturally fascinating attractions. The Plaza Colon, Eiffel's iron cathedral of San Marcos, is one such point of interest. Another is the archeology museum in the nearby Azapa Valley. There you'll find pre-Columbian weavings, carvings and mummies from the Chinchorro culture dating back to 10,000 BC.
