Skorpios Cruise II – Chonos Route 6 Days
Explore the untouched wilderness of Chilean Patagonia on the Skorpios Cruise II, a breathtaking 6-day journey through the fjords, islands, and wildlife of Patagonia. Departing from Puerto Montt, this expedition combines scenic navigation, authentic cultural encounters, and awe-inspiring natural wonders.
Your voyage begins with the charm of Chiloé Island, where artisan markets, cafés, and literary history bring the local culture to life. As you sail deeper into the channels and archipelagos, you’ll stop at Puerto Aguirre, a picturesque fishing village surrounded by lush forests and viewpoints, before continuing to Barrientos Islet—home to sea lions, cormorants, and seabirds.
The highlight of the itinerary is the approach to the magnificent San Rafael Glacier, where you’ll navigate among brilliant blue icebergs on smaller boats and witness the glacier’s imposing ice walls from the comfort of your ship. From there, relaxation awaits at the natural hot springs of Quitralco Fjord, where warm indoor and outdoor pools offer an unforgettable moment of serenity.
Wildlife lovers will delight in the chance to spot whales crossing the Corcovado Gulf, as well as Magellanic penguins and native birds on Islote Conejos. The cruise also takes you to the traditional village of Dalcahue, with its iconic church, bustling markets, and warm island culture.
Ending back in Puerto Montt, this Patagonia cruise blends comfort, adventure, and discovery, offering guests the perfect balance of nature, wildlife, and cultural immersion on one of Chile’s most iconic maritime routes.
