GLACIAL VALLEYS

FLIGHT | EASY | HALF-DAY

Observe the scale of the Northern Patagonian Ice Field from the air. Follow the Nef valley upstream until the first views of the ice appear, with Mount San Valentín rising clearly on the horizon. From there, the landscape connects naturally toward the Colonia and Leones valleys, showing how glaciers link with the lakes and rivers that eventually drain into Lake Bertrand.

LOS PUMAS

HIKE | MODERATE | HALF-DAY

Leave the lodge on foot and hike through a region of the Chacabuco Valley bordering the Chacabuco River. Sculpted over millennia by geological forces and glacial activity, this breathtaking basin is now home to the Patagonian steppe, where guanacos roam free, pumas leave their tracks, and condors soar high above. Learn more about these species and how to protect them.

TRES PUENTES

BIKE | MODERATE | HALF-DAY

A dynamic e-bike ride along the winding slopes of the eastern Chacabuco Valley. Discover diverse landscapes ranging from expansive pampas and patches of ñirre and lenga forests to water bodies once used as rest stops for livestock transhumance, making this circuit filled with viewpoints a must-see for cycling and outdoor enthusiasts.

BORDE RIO

BOAT AND HIKE | MODERATE | FULL DAY

 Leave by boat along the Cochrane river and lake basin, considered among the most crystalline waters in the world, until reaching the Correntadas sector, where you will hike along the southern slopes of the park through forests full of wildlife. This environment is home to evergreen forests, birds like the Magellanic woodpecker, intricate fungal networks, and the elusive huemul, southern Andean deer.

VIAJE GLACIAR

OVERLAND | EASY | HALF-DAY

Depart from Explora and travel along the Carretera Austral, taking back roads amid forests, rivers and lagoons until reaching the Calluqueo Glacier. This impressive tongue of ice hangs from the western slope of the solemn Mount San Lorenzo. It then flows into a murky glacial lagoon surrounded by walls of ice thousands of years old that impose themselves on the geography of the place. Sit down and enjoy the stunning views, walk around, or dip your feet in the lagoon.

CANADON CHACABUCO

HIKE | MODERATE | FULL DAY

Leave the lodge on foot on a hike through large expanses of steppe in the Chacabuco Valley, connecting with nature and wildlife. The valley was sculpted over millennia by geological forces and glacial activity. Amid the sound of birds, perhaps you will be able to glimpse the interaction between a puma and guanacos, part of this Patagonian territory.
