Trip Difficulty: Easy-Moderate

Puerto Montt, “the gateway to Patagonia”, and the southern end of the Chilean Lakes District, is the starting point for this spectacular sea kayaking adventure. After a short stay in Puerto Varas on the shores of Lake Llanquihue, where the perfectly-conical, snow-capped Volcan Osorno dominates the skyline, we will drive a few hours south on the Pan American Highway to the village of Hornopiren.

Our adventure begins in this small, sea-side port where we will become acquainted with our kayaks and proper paddling techniques.

The next six days will be filled with spectacular paddling through some of the most stunning scenery on the planet. We will camp near beaches, soak in natural hot springs, hike through temperate rainforests and enjoy good food and wine which are hallmarks of Chilean hospitality.

Our expert guides will read the tides and our daily schedule will be synchronized with the natural environment. Flora and Fauna abound in this water wilderness, where dolphins, cormorants, and sea lions make their homes.
