Reception at the Balmaceda Airport. The tour begins through the Patagonian pampas of the Region of Aysén, until we see the City of Coyhaique. The large pampas of remains of burnt forests are vestiges of the colonization of this region. After a brief visit to the city center, the trip continues following the beautiful Valley of the Simpson River until we reach Puerto Chacabuco. There the PATAGONIA EXPRESS catamaran will be waiting for us to set sail on a journey of approximately 5 hours across the austral fiords and canals until we reach our destination: Termas de Puyuhuapi, Hotel & Spa. The route runs through one of the most exuberant sceneries of untamed nature on the planet, virgin and uninhabited forests get down from the scarped mountains that plunge into the sea abruptly on a tangle of fiords and islands.

DAY 03: PUYUHUAPI – SAN RAFAEL LAGOON – PUERTO CHACABUCO
At 07:00 hours begins the journey through the austral fiords onboard the Patagonia Express catamaran to encounter San Rafael Lagoon. During this trip of approximately 7 hours our senses will rejoice with the transparency of the waters, the majesty of the Andean Mountain Range wrapped in dense forests, the display of sunlight beams intertwining with the clouds and, occasionally, playful encounters with dolphins and toninas or Commerson’s dolphins.
The navigation route goes along different canals until finally entering San Rafael Lagoon, which houses the millenarian glacier descending from the Campo de Hielo Norte (North Ice Field), through the Témpanos River.
After staying for about 2 hours by the glacier, we will sail back to Chacabuco, where we will arrive at around 22:30 hours, to then be transferred to the hotel in Puerto Chacabuco.
