Navimag Ferry
From Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt
and Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales
4 Nights / 5 Days
The Navimag Ferry is, principally, a cargo ship that also accepts passengers for the navigation route between Puerto Montt, in Chile’s southern lake district, and Puerto Natales in Chile’s Patagonia region. The great advantage that this navigation offers is a low-cost cruise that will offer all the great Patagonia scenery other cruises offer, combined with a way to get from one place in Chile to the other. For those who are staying for a while in Torres del Paine, and who want to experience a cruise as well as get to Puerto Montt, or vice versa, then this is a really great option.

Compared to an authentic cruise ship, which is built only for passengers, Navimag is a specifically designed cargo ship that also takes passengers. It should be noted that there are great advantages to such a vessel, namely that you will be aboard a ship that is “going about its normal activity” and the cost is far less than a cruise ship, but yet you will be passing by some of the most outstanding, natural scenery on Earth. However, it does not offer the higher-end comfort of a cruise ship nor any shore landings. Effectively, on this “basic cruise” you are on board a vessel that is going from point A to point B.
That said, the navigation encompasses “Mythical Patagonia”: a land of fjords, Kaweskar, and Aonikenk. As a result, you can live the experience of sharing with other adventurers a memorable and unique journey.
In addition, this voyage is an excellent option for people traveling from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales (or the reverse). Puerto Natales is a town which is only 115 km from the Torres del Paine National Park. Therefore, instead of making the journey to or from Puerto Natales by plane, you can sail between these two destinations and contemplate the beauty of the Patagonian fjords and its incredible flora and fauna on the way.

What ExperienceChile.Org says about
Navimag Route
For most people, Patagonia is all about a huge landscape, and indeed it is just that. But there is the vast Pacific Ocean hugging the Patagonian coastline to the west. However, where Patagonia meets the Pacific is an area filled with thousands of small and large islands, that form a vast archipelago of channels, fiords and inlets. And, amid these islands, are not only native forests, flora and fauna, but in many places the freezing, southern glaciers make their way, slowly down from the higher peaks to meet the ocean water.
For the fortunate few, experiencing this beauty of Patagonia can be achieved by boarding any of the Patagonian cruise vessels we offer. However, the Navimag offers those the opportunity to sail through this natural, pristine part of Patagonia at a relatively low cost. In addition, passengers can get from the Chilean, southern lake district to Puerto Natales in Patagonia, or vice-versa, instead of flying. Therefore, we say that this is a good option for those who are not looking for the comforts of a high-cost cruise but want a more practical and basic navigational experience.
Note that we have been creating Torres del Paine W Trek itineraries and other Patagonian itineraries since 1996. We are based in Chile, English owned, and a leading receptive travel operator, covering in particular – Patagonia.
