 Day 3 - Puerto Montt

Puerto Montt is one of southern Chile's most important cities. It features middle-European architecture, with shingles, high-pitched roofs and ornate balconies. The redwood cathedral (Iglesia de los Jesuitas) on the city's plaza is the city's oldest building. Puerto Montt is the transport hub and access point to the southern Lake District, the island of Chiloe and Chilean Patagonia. The little fishing port of Angelmo located 2 km west of Puerto Montt deserves a visit as well. Great seafood and handicraft shops can be found there. Read More

 Day 4 - Puerto Chacabuco

This small but busy port lies at the east end of a narrow fjord. Located only eight miles across a large suspension bridge from Puerto Aisen, it was from Puerto Chacabuco that the first road (actually a trail) was started in 1903. The road twists around cliffs and through dramatic landscape, reaching finally the Rio Simpson National Reserve. Stretching along the Simpson River, the reserve is squeezed by sheer cliffs and graced by numerous waterfalls. Puerto Chacabuco serves as a popular jumping-off point into western Patagonia and as a hub for ferries that connect the port with Puerto Montt and the Island of Chiloe. Read More

 Day 5 - Laguna San Rafael

A field of ice extends from this mountain to surrounding hills and is the origen for 19 glaciers. The park is famous for this field of ice and it is from this that Mount San Valentn takes its name. Very impressive are the large blocks ice that can be seen falling from the glaciers and crashing into the lake making a deafening sound. Although the glaciers and the lake are the park's major attractions, the park also accommodates a rich variety of both water and land birds. Some highlights include the black-browed albatross, huala duck, black-neck swan, and the cormorant among many more. Also to be seen are dolphins, wolves, chungungos, and elephant seals. Read More
