2013 南美．巴塔哥尼亞之旅：行前準備－旅行は私の人生なのだ

一、機票

往南美，需經由美國、加拿大或是歐洲轉機才能抵達

航班組合有許多種，最後我們挑選的是香港經加拿大，往智利聖地牙哥的班機

機票比價可以參考 Skycanner，從中可以找到不同航空公司的組合來進行比較：http://www.skyscanner.com.tw/

(台灣→香港) 港龍航空：http://www.dragonair.com/da/zh_TW/homepage

(香港→加拿大→智利) Air Canada：http://www.aircanada.com/uk/en/home.html

二、證件

1. 簽證

因為行程集中在巴塔哥尼亞地區，除了智利，阿根廷南部地區也會進入，所以需要辦理智利簽證及阿根延簽證

智利簽證資訊請參考：http://www.chile-trade.com.tw/travel.aspx

智利簽證看起來應該很容易辦理，所需要準備的資料也不多

而阿根廷簽證略為麻煩一些，資訊請參考：http://www.argentina.org.tw/visa1.htm

大致上，阿根廷簽證申請比較需要注意的事項有：

申請表一定要用「英文大寫」工整的填寫 (但麻煩的是申請表是PDF檔，不是 WORD文件)

財力證明如果要影印存摺，記得多印一二頁，提供詳細的存款資訊

需要準備行程表 (不能太多頁)，以及阿根廷停留地方的住宿預訂記錄

因應陸路進出阿根廷，簽證有要求需填寫入境的海關名稱，經向其他背包客詢問，只要行程交待清楚即可

2. 國際駕照譯本

如果有考慮在某個城鎮租車自由玩的話，就需要攜帶國際駕照譯本

國際駕照可至各縣市監理站申請

所需文件有：身份證、駕照正本、護照 (或自行記下護照上的英文姓名及出生地)、六個月內的二吋照片二張、申請費用 250 元

備註：國際駕照譯本以及駕照正本都要攜帶。

三、交通安排

1. 國內航班

因為最南部的 Punta Arenas 離首都相當的遠，為了能儘快開始行程，選擇搭乘國內班機前往

航空公司可參考：

Lan Airline：http://www.lan.com

Sky Airline：www.skyairline.cl

2. 渡輪

除了飛機及陸路交通之外，南部地區也有渡輪行程

聽說從 Puerto Natales 往 Puerto Montt 的這段渡輪行程，風景很不錯，自然是要來試試了

渡輪公司為 Navimag Ferries：http://www.navimag.com/sitio/es/patagonia/

要注意的是，Punerto Nalates 每周二才有一班船出發，安排行程上需要留意日期

Puerto Natales → Puerto Montt (Ferry)

Day 1 Puerto Natales (要注意：星期一晚上就要報到；星期二凌晨四點起航)

Check in Pedro Montt # 262, Puerto Natales, from 9 AM to 1 PM and from 3 PM to 7 PM.

The Ferry boarding time is at 9 PM. The crewmembers will welcome the passengers and give them some information for an entertaining and safe sailing.

Then we will set sail through the Patagonia fjords, to Puerto Montt city as our final destination.

Day 2 White Channel

We set sail at dawn for the early risers.

We enter Unión small bay to start sailing, we arrive to the narrowest path, Angostura White that is only 80 meters wide.

Then we get up to the most Austral latitude of our trip, Sobenes strait to continue on Farquhar, which leads us to Sarmiento channel; in the afternoon we arrive to Peet inlet.

Day 3 Angostura Inglesa - Bajo Cotopaxi - San Pedro lighthouse

We will arrive to Puerto Eden at sunrise (only high season), which is located in Wellington Island, one of the biggest in Chile.

It is part of Bernardo O’Higgins National park, which is the vastest in Chile, it has Magallánicos forest and Southern Patagonia Ice Field.

We continue our voyage up north to “Angostura Inglesa”, which is a narrow channel.

It only allows one ship at a time.

Then we sail through Messier channel in which we will see a cargo ship “Capitán Leonidas”, which is aground since the 70s in a semi sunken islet called “Bajo Cotopaxi”.

Nowadays, it is used as a lighthouse and as a point of reference for sailors.

At sunset, we start sailing the ocean where is sometimes possible to see Humpback Whales and “Toninas” (a kind of dolphin).

Day 4 Channel Zone - North and South Pérez channels

Very early in the morning we will be in Inchemó, gateway to Northern Patagonia Ice Field;

we will sail Pulluche channel, the most abundant in vegetation (Cypress and Lengas forests) if we are lucky enough, we could even see “toninas” (a kind of dolphin), seals and wild birds.

We continue by the Costa and Errázuriz channels until we get to Moraleda right after lunch.

This will finally take us to Corcovado Gulf, where depending on the period of the year, it is possible to see Blue Whales.

Ancud Gulf - Seno Reloncaví

At the end of this wonderful adventure, we will sail through Ancud Gulf and then Seno Reloncaví arriving to Puerto Montt in the morning. (抵達時間約星期五早上七點)
