Explorations in
Patagonia National Park

We will pedal through the scenographic diversit8y Chacabuco Valley and its history. We hike to the meeting point between the Baker and Chacabuco Rivers, the lead actor in this story of exploration. The birds will accompany us and we will have the chance to spot other species of Patagonian fauna.

We will leave by van and take our bikes with us. We reach the outskirts of the town of Cochrane, our starting point, after a 40-minute ride. The bike ride will begin in a sector of fields with crops and livestock, the main economic activities in the area. We will approach from the North, flanking the Cochrane River to appreciate its transparent waters and the trees introduced in the days of the pioneers. As we continue our way, we will come across rolling hills that we will tour with calm so we can take advantage of the views the landscape offers. We end at the bridge over the El Salto River, whose waters come from the very ice of Calluqueo.

We will review the scenographic diversity of the Chacabuco Valley and its corners. We hike to the confluence between the Baker and Neff Rivers, the lead actor in this story of exploration. We will visit various lagoons (Laguna Edita, Laguna Cisnes, Laguna Los Flamencos, Laguna Seca) and forests, observing Patagonian fauna and wildlife in different habitats. The colors and views will change as we visit different areas.
