Chile Travel and Tours: Cruises in Patagonia

	Cruising Patagonia
	Although Chile has over 4,200 kms (2,500 miles) of Pacific coastline, nearly all cruises and boat trips focus on the majesty of Patagonia's labyrinth of steep-walled fjords, islands, glaciers and pristine waters. Options include small vessel (15 m/ 50 ft) eco-journeys into remote areas with a focus on local culture. These journeys are guided by naturalists whose aim is to take you where other travelers cannot go and to immerse you in local culture, flora & fauna. In addition, large luxury cruise ships sail the Beagle Channel & Laguna San Rafael National Park. These are voyages with more traditional routes. There is also the traditional Navimag route - a very popular means of transport for all budgets for those travelling from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales and Torres del Paine National Park.
	Cruising Patagonia offers options that suit a variety of tastes, physical abilities and budgets. For all, the pristine waters and dense rainforests in Southern Chile will create an ever lasting memory.
