| Itinerary |
The
cruiser sets sail from Puerto Montt around noon, sailing through
the Ancud gulf and then crosses the Corcovado gulf. The second
day it arrives at the small fishing village Puerto Aguirre
and then to the Laguna San Rafael. Weather depending, passengers
can get into smaller boats to have a closer look to this nature's
marvel. At sunset the cruiser sets sail to the Quitralco fjord
with its hot springs. The journey continues to Chiloé,
crossing again the Corcovado gulf and arriving to the city
of Castro, before the boat sets sail towards Puerto Montt.
