The Triple Corona del Fin del Mundo (Triple Crown of the End of the World) is a unique extreme Southern Hemisphere challenge that spans Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile.
Conceived by open water swimmer Matías Ola and organized by the Asociación Civil Nadando Argentina, this challenge is figuratively speaking at the End of the World?
The Triple Crown of the End of the World comprises three iconic crossings:
- Cruce a Nado del Canal Beagle, a 1.5 km or 10 km crossing between Chile and Uruguay
- Cruce a Nado del Río de la Plata, a 42 km crossing between Argentina and Uruguay
- Cruce a Nado del Estrecho de Magallanes, a 5 km crossing within Chilean waters
Cruce a Nado del Río de la Plata: Ola describes the 42 km crossing from Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay, to Punta Lara in Argentina across the vast Río de la Plata, “It is known as the Widest River in the World. This historic crossing dates back over 100 years when Lilian Harrison become the first person to complete it at the age of 19 in 1923. No wetsuits are allowed, adhering to the worldwide open water crossing standards.”
Cruce a Nado del Canal Beagle: Ola describes the 1.5 km or 10 km crossing from Chile to Argentina through the crystal-clear waters of the Beagle Channel, “Follow in the wake of the great swimmer Lynne Cox who initiated this journey in January 1990.
Cruce a Nado del Estrecho de Magallanes: Ola describes the 5 km crossing, “Embark on another historic challenge by the world’s most adventurous swimmers. Initiated by the legendary Lynne Cox, cross the Strait of Magellan in Chile that promises an unforgettable experience.“
