Cuise To The Glaciers

Mountains and Ice

Looks like there's room at the bar!

The vessel "Mare Australis"

I recently found out that the trip to the southern ice fields of Chile includes a five day cruise.
January 21, 2011 will be the departure date for nine of us to leave Santiago, Chile and ride south to the town of Castro on the big island of Chiloe in southern Chile. There, the group will board the cruise ship "Mare Australis" for a five day cruise to the southern ice fields of Chile, specifically Laguna San Rafael. The equivilant of an Alaskan inside passage cruise. Upon returning to Castro we will again mount our bikes and head over the Andes Mountains into Argentina to the resort city of San Carlos de Bariloche. Although I've made that trip many times, the beauty of that ride always impresses me. After leaving Bariloche, we will ride north to the city of Mendoza before returning to Santiago once again. This should be quite the trip!!
