Welcome to Patagonia: Puyuhuapi
Hot Springs Resort
Reception in the Balmaceda airport. Begin tour
through the Aysen region, crossing 45 min. of 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 regionÂ’s recent colonization period. Short visit to the city, and
then we continue along the Austral Road to the TERMAS DE PUYUHUAPI,
HOTEL & SPA (5 hrs). Much of the trip is along a gravel road that passes
through extraordinary landscapes of dense forests between mountains and
cliffs. In the afternoon we arrive at the hotels Pier and then cross the
Puyuhuapi Channel by motorboat in just 10 minutes. Welcome |

Majesty of Laguna San Rafael National Park 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 route 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 around
10:30 pm, where we will be transferred to the hotel in this port |
