More than 700 islands on more than 12,000 square meters - that is what is commonly summarized as the Falkland Islands. These numbers are impressive, but even more impressive is the unusual wildlife. The white sand beach of Volunteer Point gives a small glimpse of this, being home to more than 1,000 adult king penguins and the nesting site for hundreds of chicks.

Montevideo (Uruguay)

Mooring: 14:00

The fact that Uruguay is also called the "Switzerland of South America" has less to do with its geography than with its millionaire density.

Paranaguá (Brazil)

Mooring: 08:00

Paranaguá was founded as early as the 17th century, when rumors of gold in the region began to circulate. The many fortune seekers who subsequently emigrated to Paranaguá are still evidenced by the well-preserved 17th and 18th century buildings in the historic center of town.

Off the coast of Recife, also called the "Brazilian Venice," it's worth taking a look underwater. The city is named after its breathtaking reef of shells and coral, which is exposed at low tide.

In addition, there are the impressive colonial houses from the times of sugar cane cultivation, which provide a very special atmosphere in the middle of the metropolis.
