(Text Navimag)

Day 1
PUERTO MONTT

Check-in at Av. Angelmó # 1735, Puerto Montt, from 9 AM to 11:00 AM. The crewmembers will welcome the passengers and give them information for an entertaining and safe sailing. Then we will set sail through the Patagonia fjords, to the town of Puerto Natales, our final destination. We begin sailing in Reloncaví Estuary, Ancud Gulf and at sunset, we enter the Corcovado Gulf. We have just started a surprising adventure.

Day 2
MORALEDA CHANNEL - GOLFO DE PENAS

We start sailing at dawn by the Moraleda channel, which is one of the deepest we sail on the route, later we sail Errázuriz and Costa channels. Then we enter Pelluche channel, the most abundant in vegetation (Cypress and Lenga forests) if we are lucky enough, we could even see “toninas” (a kind of dolphin), seals and wild birds. At sunset, we start sailing the ocean in the Gulf of Penas area, which lasts 12 hours approximately and here is possible to see Humpback Whales.

Day 3
PUERTO EDÉN - GLACIERS
(only in high season and according to weather conditions)

We wake up sailing between fjords and crossing the Messier channel, which is 1,270 meters deep. This characteristic makes it one of the deepest in the area; here we will also be able to see a cargo ship “Capitán Leonidas”, which is aground since the 70s in a semi sunken islet called “Bajo Cotopaxi”. Nowadays, it is used as a lighthouse and as a point of reference for sailors.
Shortly after that, we will cross “Angostura Inglesa” to arrive to Puerto Edén (only high season), which is located in Wellington Island, one of the biggest in Chile. It is part of Bernardo O’Higgins National Park, which is the largest in the country; it has Magellanic forests and the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. This area is full of glaciers and, if weather and itinerary let us, we will get closer to have a better look of some of them.*

*Glaciers possible to visit on day 3 in Puerto Montt - Puerto Natales Route are: Amalia Glacier, Glacier Skua, Estero de las montañas, Iceberg o Brujo.

Day 4
WHITE CHANNEL - PUERTO NATALES

We wake up sailing Sarmiento channel, and then we arrive to the narrowest path of the route, Angostura White, which is only 80 metres wide. Later, we sail the Union small bay and then we enter the channel to access the town of Puerto Natales, where our great adventure ends.
