The soothing powers of water
The waters of our spa are naturally pure, the source being just meters
from the Lodge. Here three different waters converge: seawater, thermal
water and water right from the waterfall. And at our, Spa, you can enjoy
the benefits of all three in one place. Its important to find ways
to alleviate the stress of our daily lives, to find places to reenergize,
and to reclaim the good feeling of well being. Here youll be able
to benefit from relaxation massages and specially from thalassotherapy
treatments.
Day 1 / Balmaceda - Puyuhuapi
Reception in the Balmaceda airport. Begin tour through the Aysen region,
crossing during 45 min 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 regions recent colonization period. After a short visit to
the city, we continue on, following the Simpson River until we reach Puerto
Chacabuco (1:15 hr), where the PATAGONIA EXPRESS catamaran waits to take
us on a 5-hour cruise through the southern fjords and channels to reach
our destination: the Puyuhuapi Lodge & Spa. Welcome!
Day 2, 3 and 4 / 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 thermal outdoor pools
at the edge of the sea, footpaths for walks through the cold forest, visits
to the Queulat National
Park with its Hanging Glacier, easy bicycle trips along the Austral Road,
or, if you wish, you can explore the Dorita Bay in boats or kayaks.
The Spas 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
and other treatments. Restore your bodys energy and recover your
spirits equilibrium, with 4 treatments per day.
Day 5 / Puyuhuapi - Balmaceda
At 7:30 am we board the motor-launch and cross the Puyuhuapi Channel to
return by austral road to Coyhaique. Along the way we are likely to see
the diversity of the region, much of the trip is along a gravel road that
passes through extraordinary landscapes of dense forests between mountains
and cliffs, reaching Coyhaique and then continue on to the airport of
Balmaceda to take your flight back to Puerto Montt or Santiago. Bon Voyage
& Hasta la Vista! (Program operating on Mondays and Thursdays entering
by the Carretera Austral, 6 hours by land transfer).
