At the very end of the Pan American highway is the Puerto Montt, which is the starting point for a fabled land of fjords, canals, islands, snow-capped volcanoes, green-forested hills and the enchantment of Southern Chile. Puerto Montt is the perfect starting point to explore the German cities of Frutillar and Puerto Varas.

The Northern Ice Field, San Rafael Lagoon and San Rafael Snowcap, are the favourite spots for national and foreign visitors because of their amazing landscapes and ecological biodiversity.
Day 11 - Tortel
Caleta Tortel is a coastal village, located between the mouth of the Baker River the largest river in Chile and a small embayment of the Baker Channel. The surrounding geography is rugged, formed by a number of islands, fjords, channels and estuaries. The village was founded in 1955 to exploit the cypress de las guaytecas wood that was abundant in the area. The timber business accounts for most of the economy in Tortel to this day.
The Chilean Patagonia is a region of great natural diversity. This unique place has forests, mountains, islands, canals and glaciers, all of them barely explored by man.
Day 12 - Angustura Inglese
The Angostura Ingles (English Narrows) are located north of Puerto Eden, a small isolated port located on Wellington Island, in the Magallanes Region of Chile. The village is known for being the home of the last Kawéshkar people.
Day 13 - Chilean Fjords
At the foot of the massive Darwin Cordillera mountain range, the majestic scenery and wildlife of the inner passages of the Chilean Channels is an assault on the senses. Watch from the Sky Terrace, the Observation Terrace or your private verandah as the Captain and local Chilean Pilot expertly manoeuvre Scenic Eclipse through the islands and channel markers of the English Narrows.

Not far from Patagonia, the city is located in the extreme south of Chile with a port and sheep-breeding history, the gateway into Antarctica will captivate you with its clean air and sophisticated European architecture.
