Chilean Fjords
01st December 2009
From Puerto Montt we sailed south on the weekly Navimag cargo ferry for 4 days between the islands of southern Chile to Puerto Natales.
.
At first we had calm conditions and enjoyed great food and wine. On the 2nd day we reached the open ocean and were seasick for the next 12 hours. We woke to a better 3rd day back inside the fjords with an hour ashore visiting little Puerto Edén, then right up close to the Pio XI glacier (the largest in South America).
.
What a wonderful experience it was and we were sorry to have to disembark in Puerto Natales. We were free to walk all over the ship, including the bridge. The weather was crazy, sun, snow, wind, hail, rain all within hours and cold.
