PATAGONIA COLLECTION: MULTISPORT ROUTE OF THE PARKS

Today, you should fly to Temuco (ZCO) and take any of the morning flights arriving between 9:00 and 9:30. In Chile, domestic flights are operated by three airlines: Latam, Sky Airline, and JetSmart.

In the evening, a delicious Pisco Sour (traditional Chilean drink) will be served, and our local guide will tell you about the upcoming days, followed by a pleasant welcome dinner at the Lodge.

After breakfast at La Baita Lodge, we will take a short trip passing by two lakes: Verde and Arcoiris, where we’ll enjoy the same landscape that inspired the award-winning BBC documentary ‘Walking with Dinosaurs.’

We will begin hiking the Sierra Nevada trail, which is equipped with 3 viewpoints. Later, we will walk back to the end of the trail and visit Playa Linda.

We will drive for about two and a half hours to the city of Pucón. This town, located on the shores of a lake, is flanked by a steaming active volcano and a large glacial lake, both called Villarrica. We will check into your hotel, and after that, you will have the afternoon free.

This day will begin with a safety briefing before we start our bike ride. However, it is important to mention that this is a well-supported ride, with a “support van” following the group to provide assistance at all times.

Today, we will be riding along one of the most scenic routes in Chile: the Seven Lakes Circuit. We will cycle along the shores of three beautiful lakes—Villarrica, Calafquén, and Panguipulli—and cover three-quarters of the route around Lake Villarrica.

Our first stop is in Villarrica (km 26.6), a small town by Lake Villarrica. Here, we can grab some snacks and refill our water bottles. We will take a short bus ride to avoid a busier stretch of road and then resume cycling.

As we ride this scenic route, we will stop for lunch at a very special place called Foye Mapu (km 51.4). After lunch, we will cycle 18.4 km to reach the town of Panguipulli. From there, we’ll take a brief tour to the beach at Lake Panguipulli. Then, we’ll pedal a few more blocks to our next hotel.

Today, we will travel 196 km by van to the town of Puerto Octay, where we will begin our bike ride through picturesque little villages. The route consists of gentle hills with long flat stretches, culminating at the shores of Lake Todos Los Santos, where we will be greeted by a unique landscape with the perfect cone of Mount Osorno.

The northeastern stretch of the Llanquihue Lake Route is one of the most beautiful parts of the journey. The entire route is fully paved, hugging the lake and passing through Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park.

We will conclude our ride upon reaching Todos Los Santos in Petrohué, a turquoise lake located in Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park.

It’s rafting day! After a thorough safety briefing, it’s time to put on your wetsuit in the changing rooms. A quick 5-minute minibus ride takes us to the starting point of the Petrohué River route in the Park.

We will practice several paddling techniques before tackling the first rapid, “Ciao Seco.” From here, it’s 13 km of continuous fun, with class III and IV rapids like “La Ese,” “Los Pollos,” “Queso Suizo,” and “El Nadador,” among others. Our small rafts ensure plenty of excitement with numerous waves to navigate. We will make stops at various spots to disembark from the raft, climb the cliffs along the shore, and dive into the crystal-clear waters.

After 2 hours on the river, we reach the landing point and return for a well-deserved lunch. You will have the afternoon free to explore the charming town of Puerto Varas.

We will depart from Puerto Varas in the morning, heading towards the local airport to board a 30-minute charter flight to Chaitén. Upon arrival, a vehicle will be waiting for us to begin our exploration of El Amarillo with a 1-hour interpretive hike, where we will learn about the flora and fauna of the temperate rainforest.

In the afternoon, we will head to Caleta Gonzalo, where we will enjoy spectacular views of rivers, glacial valleys, and the lush temperate rainforest. We will then settle into the comfortable, carefully decorated cabins that offer stunning views of the fjord and mountains. Our dinner will be prepared with ingredients grown and produced by local farmers from the Chaitén area.

After breakfast, we will walk through different sectors of the park, learning about the fantastic work of conservation, recovery and reintroduction of nature in this area carried out by the Rewilding Foundation.

One of the iconic trails here is the Chaitén Volcano (3.5 hours – 5km – medium-high difficulty) and another option is the interpretive hike to the Escondidas Waterfalls (3 hours, 2 km – low difficulty).

Have you ever hiked the slopes of an active volcano? This is your chance – enjoy it!

Today, you will board a flight to the city of Puerto Montt. After a short transfer (30 min), you will arrive at El Tepual Airport to catch your flight to the city of Puerto Natales.

Upon arrival at Puerto Natales Airport, a private transfer will be waiting to take you to the Milodón Cave area, a site rich in geographical history. We will visit the Milodón Cave Natural Monument.

After exploring this magnificent natural formation, our comfortable private transfer will take us to Riverside Camp, where our journey comes to an end.

The trail will lead us along the black sand beach of Lake Nordenskjöld, where you can experience the powerful Patagonian winds before reaching the top of the Cuernos Viewpoint. From there, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the Francés Valley, the Cuernos del Paine, and Mount Paine Grande.

After a 45-minute transfer, we will stop at Paine Waterfall to admire this powerful cascade with the impressive towers as a backdrop. Our final photo stop will be at the iconic Laguna Amarga Viewpoint, where we will bid farewell to Torres del Paine National Park.

After a final night of rest and a free morning in the peaceful coastal city of Puerto Natales, you will enjoy lunch at an excellent local restaurant. Afterward, we will take you to Puerto Natales Airport.

Have a great trip back home!
