Ferry Travel Blog: Stories and Experiences at Sea

Connect with some of the most impressive destinations in the south of the world.

Sailing between Puerto Montt and Puerto Natales through the fjords of Patagonia is a unique experience that connects with some of the most impressive destinations in the south of the world.

From Puerto Natales it is possible to travel to Ushuaia, the southernmost city on the planet and to El Calafate, where you can see the majestic Perito Moreno glacier. The route also connects with the Carretera Austral, a scenic road of pristine landscapes, rivers and temperate forests. Along the way, travelers can visit sheep farms, where they can experience Patagonian rural life with shearing demonstrations and spit-roasted lamb.

In the far north, Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas are gateways to Patagonia, with volcanoes, lakes and a strong German influence in their gastronomy.

It is recommended to book accommodations in advance during high season and carry cash, as access to ATMs is limited in remote areas.
