Grand Patagonia: North Route.

(Puerto Natales - Puerto Montt) 4 days – 3 nights

 

 

An indomitable place where the silence and immensity of the ever green forests, glaciers and mountains with eternal snow join the exotic marine wild life, accounting for the divinity of nature, this is what the journey from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt proposes.

Just when the trip seems to be over and the continental beauty of the south of Chile and Argentina filled us with the sensation of having seen it all, a new adventure begins through the patagonian channels. A route where sea lions and dolphins join us in the great experience of skirting the coasts of national parks with countless ranges of unexplored mountains, visiting towns such as Puerto Edén, where the heritage of the native ancestors is still tangible, the Lakes Area, Bariloche or Isla Chiloé, where the community’s warmth and the strength of their roots create the perfect scenario for those who know that traveling should be a gentle journey through diversity.

Itinerary

 

 

  Puerto Natales

At 21:00 hs. we embark to spend the night on the Cruise and watch a movie or a live musical show.

  Seno Ultima Esperanza – Hanging Glaciers

Sailing begins as we leave Puerto Natales through Seno de Ultima Esperanza (Last Hope Sound) to access Canal de White, while cruising the first miles the Captain welcomes us and shares an introduction to the safety measures to observe during the trip. Moments later, we are in Canal Sarmiento, from then on, depending on the season of the year, a large amount of hanging glaciers are at sight, making a truly unique show. By the afternoon informative keynotes on glaciology and geology take place, to finally have dinner around 20:00 hs.

  Puerto Edén – Faro San Pedro

After a delightful breakfast, we arrive around 8:00 hs. to Puerto Edén, where we can take land and visit the town until 11:30 hs. Then we continue traveling to enter Canal Messier and traverse the pass through Angostura Inglesa and Bajo Cotopaxi, then reach Faro San Pedro and finally get to the oceanic zone. By the afternoon we can also take part in some very interesting keynotes about the local flora and fauna and, after dinner, enjoy a movie at the Cruise’s lounge.

  Bahía Ana Pink – Golfo Ancud

We enter the channels zone traveling Bahía Ana Pink and then Canal Pulluche, from where we sail the northern and southern Perez channels (only on high season) and we can see colonies of sea lions and cormorants. While we attend keynotes about the features of the region we can see the Brieva and Peñon Blanco passages and as we sail Melinka we discover Golfo Corcovado and Golfo Ancud. Later, a party following dinner is carried out to celebrate our journey.

The usual weather in the navigation areas covered by Navimag ferries is that of rainy seas, typically presenting 2.000 to 4.000 mm of annual precipitations, low temperatures with very small variations, extending from Puerto Montt to the north section of the Maggellanic region, including the whole area of islands constituting the channels.



Seasons

Enjoy a unique and unrepeatable experience, because no matter what season it is, the landscape and the natural light will always play a major role, enhancing the scenery and enriching the adventure.

The awesome image of the snowy peaks and the blooming vegetation replete the landscape during the winter months, when a calm atmosphere prevails, giving the sail a smoother pace. The characteristic Patagonia winds are lower in intensity but regain strength at the beginning of summer.

It is important to note that the longer and more luminous days of summer make the green trees and vegetation flourish, refreshing the landscapes’ colors and reflecting the abundant flora on the crystal clear waters if the patagonian channels.
