 Day 1: Depart Puerto Montt for Calbuco, turning toward the mountain range
through the Chidhuapi channel. During the passage you will be able to observe

Day 2: This morning, after a fabulous breakfast, we will proceed to
Hornopiren, Rio Negro, located at the foot of the Hornopiren Volcano. Later, we

any luck, observe Toninas . . . the Southern dolphin!
 Day 3: We proceed on to Cahuelmo. On the way, we will visit an impressive
sea lion rookery, home to more than 200 sea lions that will be just meters away
from the yacht! In Cahuelmo, we will visit the hot springs and might even indulge
in a barbecue at the Quincho Country Home, an exclusive hotel just outside the
Vincente Perez Rosales Nat’l Park.. Later on, if the tidal conditions are favorable,
try your hand at fly fishing.
Day 4: Today it is on to Leptepu and a chance to enjoy the vegetation and
vista of this imposing fjord. On the way, we will make a quick stop at Huinay. In
