Panoramic tour of the Reloncaví Fjord: The gateway to Patagonia’s wilderness
This picturesque panoramic journey along the Reloncaví Fjord combines unspoilt nature with deeply rooted Chilean culture. Your journey begins with spectacular views of the deep-blue waters of the fjord, framed by the snow-capped peaks of the Yates and Calbuco volcanoes. A first cultural highlight is the charming fishing village of Cochamó. The historic 19th-century wooden church is a fine example of traditional Chilote architecture, whilst the valley, known as the ‘Yosemite of South America’, captivates visitors with its monumental granite cliffs. Further south, the tranquil village of Puelo invites you to stop off – the perfect place to get to know the local way of life of the Huasos (Chilean cowboys) and admire the unspoilt natural beauty of the Puelo River. As you approach Pumalín National Park, the landscape transforms into the dense, mystical Valdivian rainforest. Passing rushing waterfalls and dense ferns, you’ll experience the pure wilderness of Patagonia. The route also offers perfect photo stops where, with a bit of luck, you can spot sea lions or rare seabirds in the calm waters of the fjord. A perfect balance of relaxation, culture and natural wonders.
