From Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt, Chile – 2.-5. January 2018
Puerto Montt, Chile – 5.-8. January 2018
The trickiest part while organizing my trip was finding transfers across Patagonia. There are multiple good location where to stay, each of them with pros and cons, and even more ways to get there. So it is not a surprise that I used buses, taxis, planes, passages by car and even the ferryboat. This last in particular is the transport mean I used to travel from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt.
I was initially pretty excited of traveling across the Chilean fjords by ferry, being able to take a look to the landscapes without any rush. I have to admit that after the first day the sail have been a bit boring. Maybe the lack of a wi-fi connection on-board played a role as well in my bore (and yeah, I am not proud of this). Also the destination, Puerto Montt, didn’t offer that much to see.
Luckily not far from Puerto Montt is possible to visit the Chiloé Insland. This island is the homeland of the Chilotes, a local population that tend to differentiate themselves from the Chilean. The island is incredibly green and offers nice landscapes and even a penguin colony.
This stop was just an interlude before the next big city on my schedule, that is Santiago. I will talk about my days there in the next post.
