Fjord Reloncaví & Upper Pyrenees Route

This impressive day trip takes you along the picturesque Reloncaví Fjord deep into the unspoilt natural landscape of Chile’s Los Lagos region. The journey begins with a drive to the idyllic coastal villages of Caleta La Arena and Caleta Puelche, followed by a panoramic ferry crossing across the calm waters of the Reloncaví Estuary. During this maritime crossing, you can admire the spectacular fjord landscape up close. The route continues southwards, past the picturesque bay of Caleta Pichicolo, to the charming centre of Hornopirén, which is considered the official gateway to the legendary Carretera Austral. Once there, you’ll explore the majestic scenery of the Río Blanco. A particular highlight of the excursion is the hike through the dense, evergreen Valdivian rainforest to the imposing waterfalls of the Río Negro, known as Cascada Tato, where the untamed power of the water can be experienced in all its glory. This carefully designed programme offers discerning travellers a perfect combination of maritime navigation, fascinating landscapes and cultural insights into the rural traditions of Patagonia – all delivered in a completely safe, comfortable and professional setting.
