    About the Destination

    Puerto Chacabuco, Chile, is a coastal city that offers a wonderful opportunity to explore the natural and cultural wonders of central Patagonia. It is the most important seaport in the Aysén Region, connecting it to Puerto Montt and other destinations.

    From this deep water port, you are at the gateway to the Laguna San Rafael National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that covers an area of 1.7 million hectares. The park is home to the San Rafael Glacier, one of the largest and most active glaciers in the world, as well as diverse ecosystems and wildlife. You can enjoy the spectacular views of the park and the glacier from a comfortable cruise ship, or take a helicopter or a zodiac boat tour to get closer to the ice.

    Puerto Chacabuco is also the starting point of many navigations to the Isla Magdalena National Park, a protected area that hosts a large colony of Magellanic penguins, as well as other marine mammals and birds. You can observe these adorable creatures from a safe distance, or even walk among them with a guided tour.

    Located in a small bay of the Puyuhuapi Channel, this is actually a scenic fjord that stretches for 120 km between the mainland and the Chonos Archipelago. The channel is surrounded by lush forests, mountains, and waterfalls, creating a stunning landscape that invites you to relax and admire. You can also visit the nearby fishing villages, such as Puerto Gala and Puerto Gaviota, where you can experience the local lifestyle and cuisine.
