Packraft Petrohue crossing, Pto. Varas
Packraft Petrohue crossing, Pto. Varas
Enjoy an unforgettable experience sailing the Frío, Manso, and Puelo rivers, a 23-km route that runs through the heart of Chilean Patagonia. This journey combines adventure, majestic landscapes, and the magic of the southern rivers, paddling through mountains, native forests, and turquoise waters.
The day begins with a barge crossing of Lake Tagua Tagua, then continues overland to the start of the Frío River cruise. From there, we paddle through its crystal-clear waters until we connect with the Manso River, enjoying gravel beaches, sweeping curves, and breathtaking views. The tour culminates at the majestic Puelo River, ending back at Lake Tagua Tagua for the return trip.
During the trip, you'll be able to observe birds such as the kingfisher and the mallard duck, as well as the lush flora of the Valdivian rainforest.
A complete experience that combines nature, local logistics, and a deep connection with Patagonian rivers.
