| Day 1 / Balmaceda - Puyuhuapi |
| Reception in the Balmaceda airport. Begin tour through the
Aysen region, crossing during 45 min Patagonian pampas to reach the city
of Coyhaique. Along the way we are likely to spot pairs of caiquenes (wild
goose) and flocks of bandurrias (storks) through the grasses. The vast remains
of burned over forests are vestiges of the region’s recent colonization
period. After a short visit to the city, we continue on, following the Simpson River until we reach Puerto Chacabuco (1:15 hr), where the PATAGONIA EXPRESS catamaran waits to take us on a 5-hour cruise through the southern fjords and channels to reach our destination: the Puyuhuapi Lodge & Spa. Welcome! |
| Day 2, 3 and 4 / Puyuhuapi Lodge & Spa |
| Surrounded by lush vegetation, and accessible only by
sea, this unique Lodge is where understated luxury and a wellplanned simplicity
combine to create a unique atmosphere. The Lodge offers thermal outdoor
pools at the edge of the sea, footpaths for walks through the cold forest,
visits to the Queulat National Park with its Hanging Glacier, easy bicycle
trips along the Austral Road, or, if you wish, you can explore the Dorita
Bay in boats or kayaks. |
| Day 5 / Puyuhuapi - Balmaceda |
At
7:30 am we board the motor-launch and cross the Puyuhuapi Channel to return
by austral road to Coyhaique. Along the way we are likely to see the diversity
of the region, much of the trip is along a gravel road that passes through
extraordinary landscapes of dense forests between mountains and cliffs,
reaching Coyhaique and then continue on to the airport of Balmaceda to take
your flight back to Puerto Montt or Santiago. Bon Voyage & Hasta la
Vista! (Program operating on Mondays and Thursdays entering by the Carretera
Austral, 6 hours by land transfer). |
