We have all cruises schedules and all tours will start after your cruise arrive at Chacabuco Port

This adventure is designed for the traveler who has limited time, but wants to experience both the natural beauty as well as the culture of Northern Patagonia. We will pick you up at the main plaza in Puerto Chacabuco (just outside the port). Then, we’ll take a drive through the Simpson River Valley, one of the most scenic drives in the region. As we follow the river through the valley, we will pass through lush farmland and dramatic rugged green mountains. Admire waterfalls that tumble down from above, see rustic old homesteads and an explosion of wildflowers. You will learn about the history of the region, the current issues, how people live here and what they do for a living.

Puerto Aysen City Tour

Puerto Aysen is a fishing town nestled between mountains and water. We will take a quick spin through the town to give you an idea of what life looks like for people who live and work here. We'll see the plaza, the longest suspension bridge in Chile and the main dock where fisherman bring in their boats from fjords. We will also make a quick restroom stop here near the plaza.

Reserva Rio Simpson

Our first stop will be at the Reserva Rio Simpson (Simpson River National Reserve). We will visit the newly installed visitor's center which features interactive exhibits about the geography, flora and fauna of Northern Patagonia. Here, you have the option of spending time exploring the exhibits, taking a short stroll to the river, or grabbing a refreshment at the cafe. This will also be our first bathroom stop.

Cascada de La Virgen

After the reserve, we will visit the impressive double waterfall, Cascada de la Virgen. It is a beautiful waterfall that holds important cultural and spiritual significance for many locals. If it is raining, we will also be able admire small cascades bounding off the sheer cliffs of the Simpson River Canyon.

We will have a sit and enjoy lunch at the Quincho Aquelarre with your choice of asado al palo(lamb), salmon or empanadas (Fried or baked). You will also have the chance to enjoy a hand squeezed pisco sour (a Chilean specialty) and Chilean wine.  Pangal Valley Beer (hame made and brewed on site) is also available for purchase.
