About this activity

Takes us from Chacabuco, where we will pick you up with an adequate vehicle, directly to the Chilean Patagonian where you will visit many places like the longest suspension bridge in Chile, the unique Pangal valley, which was once a glacier, with the destination of the waterfall "Cascada del leon", the "Ghost Lagoon", a lagoon called "Los Coipos" and more.

Following the path of the pioneers, we will now go to a tradition that only exists here, the Patagonian ASADO, a special kind of barbecue.

Here you will be served, very typical, lamb from the spit and everything what the fertile earth gives. Potatoes, salad and of course sopaipillas, a delicious Chilean small starter made of dough.

Here you get one of the most beautiful insights into the local culture and the habits of the rural population, the Campesinos.

Finally we go directly back to the port of Chacabuco, where your ship is waiting for you!

A tour made for nature, culture and photography lovers!

Cascada del Leon

one hour

From here we return to the only paved road heading east. After about 15 minutes we turn onto an off-road route of about 10 km through the unique Pangal valley, which was once a glacier, with the destination of the waterfall "Cascada del leon". The weather in Patagonia is very changeable and it is difficult to calculate, but this also means an incredible variety of colors. The flora and fauna are clearly in the foreground here.

Include 20 minutes of transportation.
Chilean Patagonia

3 hours

Now we go back to the main road, where we visit the "Ghost Lagoon", so you can get an idea of how the region looked like in the middle of the last century, after it was almost completely destroyed by fire! Following the path of the pioneers, we will now go to a tradition that only exists here, the Patagonian ASADO, a special kind of barbecue.

Here you will be served, very typical, lamb from the spit and everything what the fertile earth gives. Potatoes, salad and of course sopaipillas, a delicious Chilean small starter made of dough.

Here you get one of the most beautiful insights into the local culture and the habits of rural population, the Campesinos. On the way back we cross the oldest suspension bridge of the region on foot (it is not dangerous at all!!) and take some more pictures of this incredible landscape. Finally, we visit "Los Coipos Lagoon" and say goodbye to the song of the Chucao, one of, if not the most typical bird of Patagonia.

Include 20 minutes driving and 20 back.
