Itinerary

This program has not a specific itinerary, you can build it!

Included Excursions

1. Horsebackriding to Mallin Colorado Lagoon. Four hours (ascent from 300 meters to 670 meters above sea level).
Horseback riding through a forest of native trees such as coigue, ñirre and lenga, with stops to view glaciers and lakes General Carrera, Bertrand and Plomo, appreciating spectacular view of the Andean foothills of the Northern Ice Field. For six people; picnic lunch included.

2. Excursion to the Marble Cathedral. Four hours.
A boat trip through the Puerto Tranquilo area of Lake General Carrera, where you can enjoy the famous rock formations of the Marble Cathedral on the calypso waters of the lake. It is located one hour far from Mallín Colorado and you come back to the lodge for lunch, unless you want to combine it with Exploradores Glacier.

3. Baker River Confluence. Four hours.
An excursion by truck 35 km south along Chile´s Carretera Austral. Participants will travel by lakes and mountains, and then arrive at Port Bertrand, a small town located in a picturesque area near the source of the Baker River, which is the river with the largest-volume flow in Chile. After the tour, participants can get out of the truck to view the actual source of the river, whose strong flow is surrounded by high and imposing mountains covered by abundant native vegetation. The trip then continues to its next destination, a wide plateau from which it´s possible to view the confluence of the Baker River with the Nef River (which flows from the Northern Ice Fields). You will have ample opportunities to take photos and observe the mountain range.

4. Tamango Reserve and Chacabuco Valley. Full day.
You´ll start by driving 70 km south on the Carretera Austral to the town of Cochrane, population 3,000. You´ll then continue to the Tamango National Reserve, the only area where you can observe the huemul (a protected species here). After a hike through the park´s abundant vegetation and fauna, you´ll enjoy a satisfying lunch in these spectacular surroundings. On the way back to Mallin Colorado, you´ll visit the Chacabuco Valley area, a landscape very similar to the Patagonian pampas of Argentina. Here you can observe guanacos, condors, sheep, cattle and diverse bird species.

5. Trip to Chile Chico. Full day.
A journey to Chile Chico, 122 km along the southern coast of Lake General Carrera, with spectacular views of the lake. You´ll notice the changes in climate and terrain as you approach the wide and arid Argentine pampa. Lunch will be served in Chile Chico, surrounded by farms; you´ll find that the mild and sunny climate here is very similar to that of Central Chile.

Optional Excursions

Overflight to San Rafael glacier
Departing from lake General Carrera, you cross over the Northern Ice Fields in an hydroplane over river Leones, viewing Mount St. Valentine, the highest pick in Patagonian fields, and fly over glacier St Rafael until you reach the floating icebergs in the Pacific Ocean. You fly back to the cabins in two hours.

Overflight on Northern Ice Fields
Departing from lake General Carrera, you fly over the Northern Ice Fields in an hydroplane over river Leones, viewing Mount St. Valentin, the highest pick in Patagonian ice fields.
After a passionate round trip overflying river Baker and Lake Bertrand, the flight finishes on the turquoise waters of Lake General Carrera.
