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.

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.

In this exploration we will focus on the Chacabuco River's valleys and route as a natural corridor traveled by nomadic peoples and diverse wildlife since ancestral times. We will discuss the anthropological and paleontological mysteries its rock formations hold, with caves and fossils that are vestiges of a past that it is still possible to bear witness to. These areas are characterized by their lack of snow in the summer and their low vegetation, devoid of trees. This allows you to observe a flat and open landscape where you can feel and live the icy southern wind. It is an experience among the vestiges of pre-Hispanic history and how they relate to the present and conservation.

We depart from Explora on the Patagonia National Park and travel along the Carretera Austral until taking back roads amid forests, rivers and lagoons until reaching the Calluqueo Glacier. This impressive tongue of ice hangs from the western slope of the solemn Mount San Lorenzo. It then flows into a murky glacial lagoon surrounded by walls of ice thousands of years old that impose themselves on the geography of the place. It is a natural environment that was formed over the course of centuries and millennia, where the scale of time is blurred. The wind causes the clouds surrounding Mount San Lorenzo to put on a shifting and dynamic show. We will be able to sit down and contemplate, walk around, or go down to get our wet feet in the lagoon.
