    After Magellan and his crew sailed the Río de la Plata, they find a suitable place to spend the winter, which they called Port San Julián on March 30, 1520. Magellan decided to stay in that port for 148 days, a very long period, and this is not understood by many expedition members and a mutiny happened. During this period another important event took place: the ship "Santiago", commanded by Juan Serrano, Portuguese and possibly a cousin of Magellan, had been sent to explore something more to the South while the others remained in the Port of San Julián. Apparently it is stuck by the great oscillation of the tide, losing the ship.

    When finally Magellan decided to leave on August 24, 1520, apparently they found very bad weather conditions and stopped, this time in Port of Santa Cruz, for another 53 days. Only three days after leaving Port Santa Cruz, on October 21, 1520, they discovered Cabo Vírgenes and began to enter, without yet knowing it, into the crossing on the other side of America.

    The navigation of the Strait of Magellan (not known at that moment) will take them no less than 28 days, and finally, on November 18, 1520, 8 months after arriving at Port of San Julián, they will flow into the ocean they called Pacific.
