Exploration Path

We will leave the lodge on foot. We will hike up a trail that shows us the encounter between the Steppe and the Forest. As we go up we can appreciate the captivating Chacabuco Valley's slopes, amid hills and high-plateau lagoons. From Cerro Tamanguito we will have broad views of the Chacabuco Valley basin and Lake Cochrane.

In the Aysén region, "el monte" describes the mountain areas beyond the forest line, where temperatures drop and vegetation disappears. This landscape of the Patagonian Andes, shaped by ancient glaciers, reveals Patagonia's vastness and untamed beauty from a unique perspective. For those wishing to explore the area's natural history and impressive geological formations, exploring this more challenging terrain is an ideal experience.
