Skorpios: Discover New Routes

Veliche Route: The New Jewel

Our adventure begins with Skorpios Cruises, introducing the new Veliche Route. This addition completes a series of options that allow Skorpios to offer cruises year-round, unlike other cruises that operate only in the summer.

The Veliche Route, meaning “people of the south” in Mapudungun, honors the ancient navigators who shaped the culture of Chiloé. Chiloé has been the base for significant expeditions into southern Chile and Patagonia. From discovering Laguna San Rafael to conquering the Strait of Magellan, the island has led southern routes. Many Jesuit missionaries who contributed to the iconic churches, now part of the UNESCO World Heritage, embarked from here.

With the Veliche Route, Skorpios takes you to the islands of the Chiloé archipelago, immersing you in the essence of the Chiloé people and their rich traditions. This journey through time explores the heritage left by ancient navigators and the cultural legacy that endures on the islands of Chiloé. Set sail on a voyage where history and nature intertwine in Skorpios’ new jewel, the Veliche Route!
