the navimag experience

One of the highlights of the trip so far was the Navimag, a 4 day¨"cruise" on a cargo ferry through Chilean fjords and the Pacific Ocean from Puerto Montt to to Puerto Natales. Along the way we passed through channels you could almost touch on either side of the ferry. We also passed through the most desolate, beautiful mountains I´ve ever seen - many of which have felt nary a footstep (at least not in the last few thousand years).


We saw sea lions and dolphins, and visited the Pio XI glaciar as the sun was setting and the moon was coming up. I would go as far as saying it was a beautiful, spiritual experience.


One of the best parts of the trip were the people on the boat. Tourists from all over the world coming together to eat, drink, and become motion sick together! A true testament to the randomness of the world is that Mark and I queued in the boaring line right behind Fiona who we met in our hostel in Bariloche. We expected to see Fiona on the boat, but didn´t expect to meet her right in front of us in line. We proceeded to eat, drink, and be sick with her for four days, and she even found her king (Mark) and hiked the W around Torres del Paine with him. But I won´t get ahead of myself.

Enjoy the pics!
