Puyuhuapi 6 DAYS / 5 NIGHTS Travel Package |
Day 1 (Wednesday) BALMACEDA - COYHAIQUE
Reception in the Balmaceda Airport. Transfer to hotel, presentation and preliminary conversations.
Day 2 (Thursday) COYHAIQUE - PUYUHUAPI
We begin our journey along the Austral Highway after breakfast, heading north toward the Puyuhuapi Lodge & Spa. We will make photographic stops at specific points along the way, assisted by the instructor. The trip takes approximately 6 hours, a large part of which is along dirt roads that wind their way through beautiful landscapes and dense forests surrounded by mountains and cliffs. In the afternoon we arrive at the Río Unión pier and board boats for the 10-minute fjord crossing to reach the Puyuhuapi Lodge & Spa.
Day 3 (Friday) PUERTO PUYUHUAPI Y FIORDOS
In the morning, a photographic session with "Puerto Puyuhuapi - A wooden village." Here we can photograph the town's quaint wooden constructions, the pier with its colorful boats, and its particularly beautiful surroundings. We'll spend the afternoon photographing "The Water of Life": sailing toward the Jacaff Channel to photograph colonies of marine birds, which will likely include a glimpse of the Flying Quetru (Taycheres patachonicus), one of the so-called "steam ducks" due to their preference to jet through water at high speed rather than fly. We will also approach the rock that is home to a large colony of cormorants.
Day 4 (Saturday) QUEULAT NATIONAL PARK
We travel first by boat and then overland to the Portezuelo sector of the Queulat National Park to photograph "The Enchanted Forest." We'll walk along a highland trail that traps the clouds, giving rise to an exceptional botanical display. At the end of the hike, we come to a large glacial valley where we can climb to a small lagoon with small floating icebergs. Later we'll stop to photograph the "Iceberg Lagoon" in the park's Hanging Glacier Sector. And there will still be time to enjoy a relaxing massage or thassotherapy session in the complete SPA when we return to the Puyuhuapi Lodge.
Day 5 (Sunday) PUYUHUAPI
In the morning, a pleasant walk through the woods "In Search of the Chucao" to photograph trees, ferns, native shrubs, and spotting wild, endemic birds, including the friendly "Chucao" (Scelorchilus rubecula) that enlivens the forests with its intense and characteristic song. In the afternoon we'll return to the Queulat National Park "On the Way to the Hanging Glacier Overlook."
Day 6 (Monday) PUYUHUAPI - BALMACEDA
Departure by boat from the Lodge, crossing to Río Unión to begin the trip back to Coyhaique along the Austral Highway. After lunch we continue on to the Balmaceda Airport for flights to Puerto Montt or Santiago. (This day is not considered part of the workshop).
