Ferry Porvenir Punta Arenas

If anybody needs,the timetable for the ferry from Porvernir to Punta Arenas, Tierra del Fuego, Chile and vice versa and other ferrys from Punta Arenas are at the site:

It has a different timetable for every day and it`s usually not on Monday.

Rates

Anyone know how much it costs to bring a moto across? It is 32,000 pesos for a "car or similar", but I did not see a rate specifically for bikes.

I took the ferry Porvenir to Punta Aranas last December. It was about 20 bucks in Chilean currency for me and the bike. Cash only. I will say the ferry you don't want to miss is the 4 1/2 day one going up the inside passage from Puerto Natalas to Puerto Montt.. That was about $650 for me and the bike, food included. That was for a bunk in a cabin which had other bunks which were empty. The fares are lower in the winter. Bring a book to read they don't have WIFI, but the views are unforgettable. Dave

I used it about a month ago - it's $Chilean 10,000. There's a new boat now which only takes 2 1/4 hours rather than the 3 3/4 that the dear old Melinka used to.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
