BALMACEDA / CHACABUCO / PUYUHUAPI Day 01 (Saturday orTuesday)
Reception in the Balmaceda airport. We begin our 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 tall 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:PUYUHUAPI, LODGE & SPA. Welcome!
PUYUHUAPI LODGE SPADay 02 (Sunday or Wednesday)
The Lodge offers thermal outdoor pools at the edge of the sea, paths for walks through the cold forest, visits to the Queulat National Park with its Hanging Glacier, bicycle trips along the Austral Road, or, if you wish, you can explore the Dorita Bay in boats or kayaks. The SPA’s facilities are complete. Enjoy its large hydromassage pool, jacuzzis, spring-water fountain, and steam sauna, and then reap the benefits of thalassotherapy sessions, relaxation massages, and facial and other treatments. Our staff has prepared a variety of activities guaranteed to make your stay a unique experience. Enjoy it! |
PUYUHUAPI/SAN RAFAEL LAGOON/PUERTO CHACABUCO
Day 03 (MondayorThursday)
Our day begins early. At 7:00 am we board the
PATAGONIA EXPRESS catamaran and begin our journey through the austral fjords on our way to the San Rafael Lagoon. The 7-hour trip is a sheer delight to the senses: the transparency of the waters, the majesty of the Andes Mountains wrapped in lush forests, the play of light interwoven through the clouds, and sometimes... encounters with playful dolphins. Sailing through a number of channels, we finally reach the Tempanos River, which leads us to the San Rafael Lagoon, home to a millenarian glacier. Experience it! After a visit of approximately 2 hours, we begin our return trip, arriving in Puerto Chacabuco or Coyhaique around 10:30 pm, where we will be transferred to the hotel in this port.
PUERTO CHACABUCO/ BALMACEDA
Day 04 (Tuesday or Friday)
After breakfast, our bus takes us back along the route that follows the Simpson River, from Chacabuco to Coyhaique and then on to the airport in Balmaceda (approx. 2 hours). Bon Voyage & Hasta la Vista ! |
