Tour Overview
We receive all travellers that venture to this uninhabited corner of Chilean Patagonia, where birds, dolphins, and sea lions roam. Amidst exhuberant vegetation and accessible by sea, lies a unique space where sophistication and simplicity harmoniously combine.
The Lodge and its staff warmly welcome their guests and invite them to explore and experience the stunning wilderness of cold rainforest of Queulat National Park and the Carretera Austral, and afterwards, back at the Lodge enjoy the rejuvenating thermal waters of the Spa.
The experience culminates with a cruise aboard the catamaran Patagonia Express ,through canals and austral fiords to Laguna San Rafael and its awe-inspiring glacier.

Itinerary
Day 1 | Balmaceda - Puyuhuapi
Reception in the Balmaceda airport. Begin tour through the Aysen region, crossing 45 min. of 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 forest are vestiges of the region’s recent colonization period. Short visit to the city, and then we continue along the Carretera Austral to the Puyuhuapi Lodge & Spa (5 hrs). Much of the trip is along a gravel road that passes through extraordinary landscapes of dense forests between mountains and cliffs. In the afternoon we arrive at the Lodge’s pier and then cross the Puyuhuapi Channel by motorboat in just 10 minutes. Welcome!
Days 2 to 4 | 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.
Day 5 | Puyuhuapi - San Rafael Lagoon - Chacabuco or Coyhaique
Our day begins early. At 7:00 am., 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 route is a sheer delight to the senses: the transparency of the waters, the majesty of to 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 in Puerto Chacabuco around 10:30 pm., where we will be transferred to the hotel in Puerto Chacabuco or Coyhaique.
