TRAVEL PROGRAM: NORTHERN PATAGONIA cruiseDay 1. Puerto Montt and Chaullin Island
Arrival in the Chilean city of Puerto Montt early in the morning or the day before (if you arrive the day before, you must pay an additional night at the hotel).
Check in at the boat from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
We set sail from Puerto Montt, a capital of the Los Lagos Region and the main sea port in the Western continental Chile. Its location makes the city a gateway to Patagonia travel.
We will spend most of the day sailing, yet on our way we are going to step on a small Island Chaullin to see a huge millennial myrtle forest, one of the three such forests in the world.

this small island the "Venice of Chiloé" — for its stilt-houses, called "palafitos". We will have a whole day ashore to walk around, visit local museums, take pictures of breathtaking views and savour unique "curanto al hoyo", a traditional seafood dish cooked on hot rocks on the ground.

Isla Grande de Chiloé, or Chiloé Island is the main island of the archipelago.

This island offers a combination of amazing landscapes and ancient architecture, namely its wooden churches made entirely in native timber with extensive use of wood shingles. We are going to moor at the city of Kastro, the capital of Chiloé. Being Chile's third oldest city, it has a lot to offer both in terms of historical sights and tourist attractions.
