PC4 - PUYUHUAPI`S SECRET / 5DAYS - 4NIGHTS
Regular Departures: Mondays
Day
1 / Balmaceda - Puyuhuapi
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 Lodge offers a variety of fascinating
excursions in the cold rainforest and the Queulat National Park, after
which one can wind down in the outdoor hotspring pools at the edge of
the sea or in the wonderful Spa. 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.
Day 5 / Chacabuco or Coyhaique- Balmaceda
After breakfast, bus drive to the airport in Balmaceda. Bon Voyage &
Hasta la Vista!
