Sailing to San Rafael Glacier

A full day through fjords to a lagoon full of icebergs, at the foot of the Northern Patagonian Ice Field (Campo de Hielo Norte).

The catamaran departs from Puerto Chacabuco and travels up the channels to the lagoon where San Rafael Glacier calves straight into the water. It’s about five hours of sailing each way, and the reward is an ice front several kilometers wide that thunders every few minutes.

Departures depend on sea conditions: it’s wise to leave a spare day in your itinerary.
