Cruise Chile Chico - Puerto Ibanez
Sailing across the huge Lake General Carrera
If you want to continue Patagonia north of the city of Chile Chile, you can try to go around the lake General Carrera by road (about 300km) or go on a ferry ride and enjoy it a little differently. On a nice day, really beautiful views of the surrounding mountain landscape await you
Beautiful shore of the lake
The ferry from Chile Chico to Puerta Ibanez departs early in the morning. You don't have to buy tickets in advance, just on the spot. It costs around 2000 pesos, which is a great price for such a long cruise. From the boat there is a nice view of the places where there is a great coastal hike
View of Chile Chico
The Chile Chico oasis is slowly disappearing on the horizon
At the lighthouse
After a while, the ship passes a small lighthouse, which is just opposite the fairytale bay, which can be reached on foot from Chile Chico
Last close view of the coast
The surroundings of the lake are really very picturesque, but also very deserted. On tours along the coast you rarely meet anyone for the whole day
In the middle of General Carrera Lake
Now we have a cruise almost eleven kilometers across the lake. The waves are rising and they feel like they are at sea. On the horizon are the mountains lining the North Patagonian Ice Field
Smooth mountains
Gradually, the mountains on the other side of the lake are approaching
In the bay of Bahia Ibanez
The ship passes through a small strait and suddenly you are in a different world. the water has a completely different color and the waves are doubled. It would definitely not pay to fall overboard here
Puerto Ibanez
After more than three hours of beautiful sailing, we are on the other side of the lake in Puerto Ibanez. Here, microwaves are waiting to take you another 120 kilometers further to the city of Coyhaique
