       The tour begins at 08:30 AM in Puerto Montt or Puerto Varas (Lake District) where you will be picked up and driven to the island of Chiloé Grande to discover the island’s rich folklore, fantastic wildlife, and varied seafood.  First we will visit the rugged Pacific coast and a unique penguin colony before boarding the charming vessel, Cahuella, for the night in a small fishing village. 

The following morning you will enjoy breakfast onboard and sail among remote outer islands, dropping anchor every afternoon to allow you to go ashore and experience the traditional culture of these rarely visited areas only accessible by boat.  Each night will be spent in a calm bay to ensure the most pleasant dreams.  

 Leaving the multitude of islands of the Chiloé Archipelago, we will cross the waters to the spectacular grandeur of mainland Patagonia and its steep-walled fjords. Here you will witness the untouched wilderness of the glacier-topped Andes, old growth temperate rainforest and numerous hot springs- all of whose beauty motivated the protection of over 600,000 acres (243,000 hectares) as the renowned Pumalin  Park project.  We will have our "feet on the ground" for at least half of each day with forest hikes, hot springs soaks and fishing opportunities as we explore the treasures of Patagonia.

  Your talented cook will keep your appetite sated with the freshest products from the sea and local farms while the spectacular cultural treasures of the archipelago together with the natural majesty of the fjords make your experience unforgettable.   Your bilingual guide will accompany you throughout the tour to ensure the most educational and memorable visit to southern Chile.
