After two days in Puerto Aisen we got the ferry from Puerto Chacabuco headed for Puerto Montt. Getting on the ferry we were pleasantly surprised to find that for the equivalent of £41 that we got a cabin with bunks in it!
After sleeping for eight hours I awoke to find that the ferry was just leaving the port after spending the night loading her. Which was great as I had been thinking that we would miss all the great scenery with a night time departure, thankfully not, as we had breakfast we were treated to a feast for our eyes as numerous waterfalls and huge landslides could be seen from the galley.
The first twelve hours were very calm with splendid scenery all around, until we crossed the Golfo Corcovado, where the channels we were travelling up have no land protection from the Pacific. Almost everyone disappeared below immediately as the boat began to pitch and roll (sometimes wildly) for three to four hours, before getting to the shelter offered by Isla Grande de Chiloe.
