Angelmó, Puerto Montt and ferry to Coyhaique

The small photos are of us in Angelmó - dockside fish market in Puerto Montt - and Sean digging into a big plate of the local curanto dish. The bigger photos are of the ferry ride.


On Feb. 1, we took a ferry from Puerto Montt to Coyhaique. It was supposed to be about 20 hours, but instead of leaving at 8 at night, we left at 3 am, so instead of one night on the boat we had two! We looked at it as another night of free lodging! The ride was beautiful, passing the inner side of the island of Chiloe, getting ever closer to the mainland coast. Unfortunately the part of the ride when we were in a tight fjord approaching Puerto Chacabuco (an hour from Coyhaique) was in the dark, but we arrived to beautiful sunrise colors. We both escaped the seasickness that a lot of people felt during a particularly rough 2-hour stretch about halfway through the trip.
