PUERTO
MONTT -> PUERTO CHACABUCO
Navimag, 22 hours, ferry, from US$ 60 |
|
It
is the fastest way to get from Puerto Montt to the Aysén
Region (save by flying there). Puerto Chacabuco is one hour
away from Coyhaique, the region's capital, and it is also
the start point for the touristic excursions towards the
Laguna San Rafael, which is only a few hours of navigation
to the south away. |

| Itinerary |
Leaving
Puerto Montt, the navigation continues through the interior
sea of the Chiloé archipelago, with calm waters protected
by the Isla Grande. With good visibility it is possible to
see a chain of high summits and volcanoes in the continent.
Entering the Corcovado gulf, which separates the archipelagos
of Chiloé and Guaitecas, the sea gets tougher for some
hours until reaching the Moraleda channel: again an area protected
from the winds and waves. In the second half of the journey,
the boat sails through fjords and islands of incomparable
beauty, until arriving to Puerto Chacabuco after a 22-hour-journey. |

| Boats |
In
April 2011 Navimag sold its ferry Puerto Edén that
used to work this route. Since then, they use the Evangelistas
in winter and the Amadeo during spring and summer. The ferry
Amadeo is mainly built for cargo and has
very few cabins for passengers. |
