Your Travel Experience with Galapagos PRO
A tour of discovery along the Carretera Austral and Lake Yelcho
The ‘Carretera Austral & Lago Yelcho Discovery’ tour is a short break designed to let you experience unspoilt Patagonia in just a few days. It combines a scenic road trip with walks amongst the millennia-old larch trees of Pumalín Park, a trek to the active crater of the Chaitén volcano, and a relaxing break at the natural hot springs of Amarillo. The absolute highlight of the trip is your stay on the shores of the majestic Lago Yelcho, where you can enjoy sailing trips on emerald-green waters, world-class fly-fishing and an exploratory hike to its imposing hanging glacier – whilst completely unwinding in one of the most unspoilt and pristine corners of southern Chile. What’s more, this adventure allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture of the Patagonian villages, savour their traditional cuisine and share stories around the campfire at the end of each day. It’s the perfect itinerary for anyone who wants to make the most of their time without missing out on the adrenaline rush, the chance to photograph colossal landscapes, and the mystique that only the untamed Chilean Ruta 7 can offer.
