Puyuhuapi´s Secret

Puyuhuapi

The perfect place to relax and get away from all. You can’t quite believe it: fly down over the end of the Andes, drive along the scenic Carretera Austral, take a boat across a deserted bay, and there it is: a natural paradise as few are, full of contrasts and imposing vegetation. So far away from civilization that its architecture and strategic location on the edge of the sea make it a thing of wonder.

Day 1 Balmaceda - Puyuhuapi

At Balmaceda Airport our tour through the Aysen region begins, crossing patagonian pampas for 45 mins to reach the city of Coyhaique. After lunch, we continue along the scenic Austral Road to  PUYUHUAPI Lodge & 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 Lodge pier and then cross the Puyuhuapi Channel by motorboat in just 10 minutes. Welcome!
