Into Patagonia

23/01/11  We struggled through a variety of options to travel from Chiloé southward into Patagonia without backtracking or waiting a week for transport, and at the last minute discovered a boat sailing to Puerto Chacabuco.  The Alejandrina took a 36 hour journey through the fjords and snow capped mountains off the west coast of Chile, docking at several small puertos en route.  As it seems to go around here, it left 13 hours late and sailed for 40 hours.  But it was nice to go by boat :) and you should´ve seen our pack lunch.

Boarding the Alejandrina.  More of a cargo boat than ferry.  And not so clean on the inside!
As well as birds we saw dolphins, seals and...Penguins!!!  (And hiding whales).

Spooky and cold.
