DAY
5 Glacial
Majesty of Laguna San Rafael National Park Our day begins early. At 7:00 am we board the PATAGONIA EXPRESS catamaran and begin our journey through the austral fjords on our way to the San Rafael Lagoon. The 7-hour route is a sheer delight to the senses: the transparency of the waters, the majesty of the Andes Mountains wrapped in lush forests, the play of light interwoven through the clouds, and sometimes... encounters with playful dolphins. Sailing through a number of channels, we finally reach the Tempanos River, which leads us to the San Rafael Lagoon, home to a millenarian glacier. Experience it! After a visit of approximately 2
hours, we begin our return trip, arriving in Puerto Chacabuco around 10:30
pm, where we will be transferred to the hotel in this port |
