Day 01 - Tuesday,  Santiago - Puerto Montt-Balmaceda - Chacabuco - Puyuhuapi
Airlines Ticket from Santiago to Balamceda. Reception in the Balmaceda airport. We begin our tour through the Aysen region, crossing during 45 min Patagonian pampas to reach the city of Coyhaique. Along the way we are likely to spot pairs of caiquenes (wild goose)and flocks of bandurrias (storks) through the tall grasses.
The vast remains of burned over forests are vestiges of the region’s recent colonization period.
After a short visit to the city, we continue on, following the Simpson River until we reach
Puerto Chacabuco (1:15 hr), where the PATAGONIA EXPRESS catamaran waits to take us on
a 5-hour cruise through the southern fjords and channels to reach our destination: the
PUYUHUAPI Lodge & Spa. Welcome!
Day 02 - Wednesday, Puyuhuapi Lodge & Spa
Surrounded by lush vegetation, and accessible only by sea, this unique lodge is where understated luxury and a well planned simplicity combine to create a unique atmosphere.
The lodge offers a variety of fascinating excursions in the cold rainforest and the Queulat National Park, after which one can wind down in the outdoor hotspring pools at the edge of the sea or in the wonderful Spa. The Spa´s facilities are complete. Enjoy its large hydro massage pool, jacuzzis, spring-water fountain, and steam sauna, and then reap the benefits of thalassotherapy sessions, relaxation massages, and facial treatments.

Our day begins early. At 7:00 a.m. we board the PATAGONIA EXPRESS catamaran and begin
our journey through the austral fjords on our way to the San Rafael Lagoon. The 7-hour trip
is a sheer delight to the senses: the transparency of the waters, the majesty of the Andes
Mountains wrapped in lush forests, the play of light interwoven through the clouds, and
sometimes... encounters with playful dolphins. Sailing through a number of channels, we
finally reach the Tempanos River, which leads us to the San Rafael Lagoon, home to a millenarian
glacier. Experience it! After a visit of approximately 2 hours, we begin our return trip, arriving
