Channels
and Archipelagos from Puerto Montt to Puerto Chacabuco.
Sailing through channels and archipelagos of Aisen Region, you arrive
to this small entrance of Pacific Ocean with 15 x 10 Km., it surprises
for its unbelievable beauty, because it meets with an enormous glacier
30.000 years old, which has 45 km length by three Km. width. You impress
when seeing the great ice blocks which loose from the mass, and then
they noisily fall and float inside the waters of San Rafael Lagoons.
Our warmest welcome on board the M/V "Puerto Eden" or "Magallanes".
Enjoy a magnificent cruise that will show you all the fascinating
and wonderful natural beauties of "Laguna San Rafael". Once
there, you will be astounded and dazzled by the scenery and it will
be the perfect moment to enjoy, at the foot of imposing mountains,
a well-deserved toast of whisky over millenary ice.
... Explore the alternatives found in the left-hand field and begin
your voyage.
