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. Strolling through the old town, admiring the monuments and mausoleums on the Plaza Independencia, buying fruit and vegetables at the Mercado Agricola or fresh seafood at the Mercado del Puerto - Montevideo makes it easy to feel good.

Abraão (Ilha Grande, Brazil)

Mooring: 08:00

Headlong into an unforgettable adventure we plunge on Ilha Grande. The former pirate and prison island has a turbulent past behind it. In the meantime, however, it attracts not so much feared pirates as welcome sailors. 22 official and almost 100 unofficial dream beaches are 122 good reasons for this. Particularly beautiful is Praia de Lopes Mendes, where you should definitely not only lie on the beach, but also explore the surrounding nature of the jungle, which is difficult to access, on a hike.
