Sail the Patagonian channels, an unforgettable adventure. One of the best adventures that you can enjoy in southern Chile is the navigation between Puerto Montt and Puerto Natales (both ways). Sailing from the Angelmo Ferry terminal in Puerto Montt towards the archipelago of Chiloé, the impressive view of the Osorno and Calbuco Volcanoes becomes a spectacular panorama. The M/V Magallanes makes a port call in Puerto Chacabuco, the doorway to the Austral Road. Passengers whose final destination is Puerto Chacabuco disembark here. Those passengers that continue to Puerto Natales can also disembark here and perhaps visit Aysén if time and weather conditions permit. Once on board, passengers shall prepare to navigate the Golfo de Penas (Gulf of Sorrows) which being loyal to its name, will test your maritime tolerance. The calmed waters return once we enter the Messier Channel and the Angostura Inglesa, a very narrow passage that will make you believe our vessel does not fit through it. Once
we anchor in front of Wellington Island, only the M/V Puerto Eden (not
the M/V Magallanes) will make a brief stop at Puerto Eden in which passengers
are not allowed to disembark. The
trip then continues through the channels and populated islands with
very At the end of the journey, you will disembark on the gateway to Patagonia: Puerto Natales. This port city offers the tourist different alternative destinations such as the Torres del Paine National Park, the historic city of Punta Arenas on the shores of the Strait of Magellan and the island of Tierra del Fuego. These sites encompass all the natural beauty at the End of the World and will make this the best trip of a lifetime. |
