Explorations in
Patagonia National Park

We will bike across much of the Chacabuco Valley and the Patagonian steppe, observing how it has been recovering its original nature little by little. We will then continue up to the great walkway donated by Mr. Butler and get to know its interesting construction.

We will cycle along a trail with ascents and descents, from which we will see lagoons, ranches and nothofagus forests, until reaching Laguna La Pepa, which we will flank before returning along the same route.

We will leave the lodge on foot on a hike through large expanses of steppe, connecting with nature and wildlife. We will share amid the sound of birds and perhaps we will be able to glimpse the interaction between a puma and guanacos, part of this Patagonian territory.

We will leave the lodge on foot and hike through a vast steppe region bordering the Chacabuco River. This is one of the areas most populated by pumas and guanacos. Here we will learn more about these species and how to protect them.

We will hike through the steppe before arriving at a lagoon with one of the greatest variety of birds. There we can get to know the Patagonian fauna and observe the multitude of species that inhabit the area.

The Patagonia National Park is a paradise for bird watching. On this exploration we cross a part of the Chacabuco Valley with great potential for observing di8verse types of lagoon and river birds.

We invite travelers to get to know the Patagonia National Park museum. It presents the landscape and the cultural history of the Chacabuco Valley in an interactive way, incorporating an emotional and inspirational narrative on the importance of National Parks and ecological loss and recovery. We hope to foster a culture of conservation with this museum, inviting visitors to be inspired by the beauty of the park and to get closer to Patagonia's great natural and cultural heritage.

We leave the lodge on foot and take an introductory hike in Patagonia National Park on this exploration. We will begin in sectors where there are streams and low forests with significant presence of chacya (riparian shrub). As we enter the Park, we will begin to hear the songs of a variety of birds, such as churrin and bandurria tapaculo and black-faced ibis). Guanacos can be spotted grazing in this area.
