This trip connects Chile and Argentina through the calm and pristine waters of Lake Pirihueico, reflecting the surrounding forests in an unforgettable journey of the Patagonian Andes.

Day 1: Arrival to Biological Reserve Huilo Huilo

The journey begins when the group is picked up by our team at the airport, and then go directly to the town of Neltume, Panguipulli, a village located 3 kms from the Huilo Huilo hotel.

Check in the Reserve, dinner and overnight at hotel.

Day 2: Exploring the Snowy Forest

After breakfast, we will head to the Huilo Huilo Portal to begin the ascent to the volcano, where the wonderful snowy forest we wish to explore is located. After 30 minutes of ascent in 4x4, we will arrived at the snowy forest, which covers the reserve with volcanic landscapes of Mocho-Choshuenco, equip us with snowshoes, and begin the walking  route that promises flora and fauna and landscapes full of contrasts. We will understand the importance of water as snow for the survival of the ecosystem of Mountain Forest.

We will return and have lunch in the restaurant of the Hotel. After a well deserved rest, we will return to the Portal, where a car will be waiting to take us to the Huilo Huilo Canopy. We will have amazing aerial views while enjoying the journey, 4 Tyrolean about 400 meters long each sector highlights the 3rd, with 130 meters high and 500 meters long.

We will return to the hotel for dinner and, if you still have energy, will visit the Salto Huilo Huilo at night. The Salto de Huilo Huilo is in the Fuy river. This glacial river runs through a bed of volcanic rock, originated in a Choshuenco Mocho volcano eruption. When you get there, the channel will narrow in a thread of deep water, culminating in a series of jumps. After this we returned to the hotel to rest.

Day 3: Ski/Snowboar off-piste

After breakfast we will begin the journey to the Bosque Nevado Snow Center, for a morning of skiing / snowboarding off-piste, at the foot of Mocho-Choshuenco. A Pisten vehicle will take us to the top of the mountain, with a privileged view of many volcanoes, to ski down freely. An unforgettable experience!!  You will do two descents in the morning. We will return at lunchtime to the Hotel.

In the afternoon, Petermann Brewery awaits us for Beer Tour, tasting different varieties of beer produced in the Reserve. In the evening, dinner and overnight at hotel.

Day 4: Lago Pirihueico Navigation

After having breakfast and checking out, we will head towards Puerto Fuy, where a ferry will take us to Puerto Pirehueico, a beautiful navigation across the lake that bears the same name. After making port, a transfer will be waiting to take us to Le Chatelet Hotel, where we will rest after a long day.

Day 5: Free day in San Martín de los Andes

After having breakfast, enjoy a day in the city of San Martin de Los Andes. We recommend, for those who are snow lovers, to coordinate a transfer from the hotel and visit the Chapelco Ski Center to enjoy a half day or full day ski/snowboard. If you want something quieter, there is always the option to enjoy an afternoon on the streets of San Martin de Los Andes.
