| Puyuhuapi, remote place of the Chilean northern Patagonia, A space of wild beauty; a place of fjords, native forests, rivers, waterfalls, mountains and glaciers. We receive all travellers that venture to this uninhabited corner of Chilean Patagonia, where birds, dolphins, and sea lions roam. Amidst exhuberant vegetation and accessible by sea, lies a unique space where sophistication and simplicity harmoniously combine. The Lodge and its staff warmly welcome their guests and invite them to explore and experience the stunning wilderness of cold rainforest of Queulat National Park and the Carretera Austral, and afterwards, back at the Lodge enjoy the rejuvenating thermal waters of the Spa. The experience culminates with a cruise aboard the catamaran Patagonia Express ,through canals and austral fiords to Laguna San Rafael and its awe-inspiring glacier. |

| 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 forest are vestiges of the region’s recent colonization period.
Short visit to the city, and then we continue along the Carretera Austral
to the 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’s pier and then cross the Puyuhuapi Channel by motorboat in just 10 minutes. Welcome! |
