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. |
| PC4 Puyuhuapi´s Secret 4 nights |
| Regular Departures:
Mondays |
| 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 grasses. The vast remains
of burned over forests are vestiges of the region's recent colonization period. After lunch, we continue along the Carretera Austral 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 Lodges Pier and then cross the Puyuhuapi Channel by motorboat in just 10 minutes. Welcome! |
| Day 2 and 3 / Puyuhuapi Lodge & Spa |
| Surrounded by lush vegetation, and accessible only by sea, this unique Lodge is where understated luxury and a well planned simplicity combine to create a unique atmosphere.

The Spa´s facilities are complete. Enjoy its large hydro massage pool, jacuzzis, spring-water fountain, and steam sauna, and then reap the benefits of thalassotherapy sessions, relaxation massages, and facial treatments. |
| Day 4 / San Rafael Lagoon - Chacabuco or Coyhaique |
 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 Témpanos 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
p.m., where we will be transferred to the hotel in Puerto Chacabuco or Coyhaique. |
