A full-day exploration of the Baker River begins at its outflow, where it empties its turquoise waters into the waters of Lake General Carrera. An overland journey leads us along the river, allowing us to discover the dynamic landscapes and transitions, crossing suspended bridges and tracing the river’s path to the sea, appreciating views of snow-capped peaks and ancient settlements.
The confluence of the turquoise waters of the Baker River with the waters of the Chacabuco River is one of the iconic points of the Carretera Austral. We travel by van from the the lodge to witness the magnificent meeting of these two rivers and appreciate from a viewpoint how their colorful flows merge.
