Patagonia Biosphere Expedition
Embark on an unforgettable adventure through the breathtaking landscapes of Patagonia, where nature, history, and tradition come together in a truly immersive experience. Departing from Chacabuco, you’ll travel in a comfortable vehicle to Puerto Aysén, the former capital, crossing the longest suspension bridge in Chile. Enjoy a brief stop to admire and photograph this impressive structure, designed according to Gustav Eiffel’s plans. Continuing the journey, you’ll arrive at BahÃa Acantilada, where the majestic Andean glaciers form a stunning backdrop. This scenic viewpoint offers incredible photography opportunities before we venture east along the only paved road in the area. Soon, we transition onto a 10 km off-road route through the Pangal Valley, a former glacier-carved landscape rich in diverse flora and fauna. Here, you’ll visit Cascada del León, a hidden waterfall surrounded by lush Patagonian wilderness. The region's ever-changing weather creates a mesmerizing display of colors, making each visit a unique experience.
Next, we return to the main road to discover the "Ghost Lagoon," a site that tells the story of a devastating fire that reshaped the landscape in the mid-20th century. As we follow the path of Patagonia’s pioneers, you’ll experience a cherished regional tradition—the Patagonian Asado. This authentic barbecue feast includes slow-roasted lamb from the spit, fresh potatoes, crisp salads, and sopaipillas, a delicious Chilean fried bread. This is a rare opportunity to connect with the local Campesino culture and gain insight into rural life in Patagonia.
On the return journey, we take a walk across the oldest suspension bridge in the region, offering one last chance to soak in the awe-inspiring landscape. Our final stop is at Laguna Los Coipos, where we bid farewell to Patagonia with the song of the Chucao, one of the most emblematic birds of the region.
This tour is perfect for nature enthusiasts, photographers, and culture lovers, offering an incredible blend of scenic wonders, history, and local traditions. As we return to Chacabuco, your ship awaits, concluding a truly unforgettable Patagonian experience.
