Description
(TOUR NOT AVAILABLE)
On this 13-day experience you will visit Aysén, the deep Chilean Patagonia. Here you can get away
from the throngs of tourists visiting Chile in growing numbers each year.
In this trip you will be in close contact with nature and local culture. Because this is a region still
untouched, services and accommodations may not be first class. We have devised the route
considering the best available facilities, but you may find that internet does not work, or that you
don’t have a private bathroom, or we may even have to make last-minute adjustments to the
original plans due to unforeseen local circumstances.
This is Aysén, a place you’ll appreciate with the open heart of the true adventurer. Here you will
get to know the quality of its people and their hospitality, sharing beside a warm fire on a rainy
day enjoying the local cuisine served hot from a rustic woodstove.
Live and enjoy this unique adventure!
