The meeting point is the city of Punta Arenas, Chile from where a ferry departs to the city of Puerto Williams (approximately a 32-hour journey). The transportation company is called Tabsa and publishes the definite dates and times of departure 6 months in advance, so by the first week of August, the final date should be available. If they maintain what is scheduled until December, the probable departures are on January 1 or January 5. The ferry returns to the city of Punta Arenas 7 days later. (10 days in total of the trip to carry out the activity)
