DESCRIPTION

This short, but intense trip is thought for those who do not have time for a full trip. You'll go straight into the heart of Pumalin Park and travel along Quintupeo and Cahuelmó fjords, both remarkably beautiful, only comparable to Fjord Land in New Zealand.

HIGHLIGHTS

Alerce Andino National Park, Pichanco Thermal Springs, Copper Patagonia, Cahuelmó.

Itinerary

Day 1: Puerto Varas / Caleta Cholgo

We pick you up at the meeting point and as we drive south towards Hornopiren. We will cross on a ferry and once on the other side enjoy the Pichicolo thermal spring, our last stop until reaching caleta Cholgo, were we set camp and spend the night. BL-D

Day 2: Hornopirén / Fiordo Quintupeo

3,5hrs / 13km / 7mi paddling
We will drive south and reach the ocean and once in our Kayaks we will have a talk on safety, rescue and paddling instructions. We will start paddling towards the narrow entrance of Quintupeo fjord. This day we will sail for 4 spectacular hours in the heart of Pumalin Park. The Fjord has huge granite walls; we can see waterfalls that jump from the Andes to the sea and in this -undoubtedly- beautiful little corner of this planet we will set camp at the end of the fjord and relax.

Day 3: Quintupeo / Cahuelmo

6hrs / 25km / 13.5mi paddling
This will be our longest day; we will paddle for 5 to 6 hours, nearly 16mi and depending on the weather and the tide, we might have to do some night sailing, which will give us a different view of the fiord. As every effort is rewarded, we will arrive to Cahuelmo Fiord after about 5 hours, a wonderful place with big mountains that rise from the sea and then go inland amongst narrow valleys just waiting to be explored. We will see a colony of sea lions and once we have reached the end of the fiord we will find the Cahuelmo Hot Springs, a part of the Pumalin Project. We will set camp near the natural pools dug on the rock by local people in the early 30`s. We will enjoy a hot spring bath and the amazing southern latitude sunset followed by dinner and free afternoon. B-BL-D
