Puerto Chacabuco, Chile - Aiken del Sur

Went to sleep in the Pacific Ocean and woke up in Norway! Just kidding, but these fjords look a lot more like the northern latitude fjords than the ones we have been cruising by so far.

Puerto Chacabuco is a very small place, with no real town, so today I chose a HAL shore excursion to a local private park called Aiken del Sur. We took a short hike to a lovely waterfall with a guide. After the walk, we went to the quincho, a gathering place where they had lamb on a spit (which we didn't get to eat), snacks and various beverages including traditional and calafate pisco sours. We were treated to a traditional dance show. I thought the male dancer looked a lot like Manny from Modern Family.

The sail away here was the most lovely so far so I'm making another footprint for it!Read more
