Navimag

We sailed nearly 1000 miles north up the fjord coast of Chile on the Navimag ferry from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt. The trip took 4 nights and 3 days to complete but the time passed quickly with glacier sightings, movies, and 3 meals at regular intervals. The cabins were small but the beds were comfortable and we slept well at night. On the last day of the trip, the sun came out for a brief period and everyone found their way to the top deck to bask in it.

We arrived in Puerto Montt, a dirty, industrial city, and went directly out of it on the bus to the island of Chiloe. In Ancud we found a beautiful little hostel overlooking the bay full of brightly coloured fishing boats and took a tour in the afternoon to see the local penguin colonies (Humbolt and Magellan penguins, as well as, seals, otters, cormorants, sea gulls etc). Chiloe is a beautiful place to relax and spend a few days. Unfortunately, we have been a bit stressed trying to book bus tickets for my parents´journey to Buenos Aires which starts tomorrow.
