Cruising Pio Xi Glacier, Chile
  • Cruising Pio Xi Glacier, Chile
This vast region of incomparable scenery is seemingly untouched by humans except for a few fishing villages perched at "the end of the world". Over the next few days, you'll have multiple opportunities to hike, Zodiac cruise, and kayak among snowcapped mountains, thousands of islands covered with forests, lakes, soaring granite walls, and waterfalls. One of the many highlights is the Pio XI Glacier, the longest glacier in the southern hemisphere outside of Antarctica, running some 60 miles from the Patagonia icefield to the fjord, where it noisily calves off gigantic ice masses at a rate of one every several minutes. Get up close to this impressive natural wonder on Zodiac rides. ...

Today, choose from two options. Take a morning excursion to Aiken del Sur, a privately owned park set in a beautiful evergreen forest with lovely lakes and waterfalls, including a 75-foot-high cascade. As you walk the well-maintained trails, keep an eye out for ringed kingfishers, woodpeckers, and a variety of forest birds.

Alternatively, take a full-day excursion to the Coyhaique National Reserve, driving up into a scenic valley nestled in the Andes, with views of the snow-covered peaks. The starting point for the day's hike is Laguna Verde, "Green Lake", which you'll reach after passing through evergreen forest full of giant rhubarb and ferns into the transition zone of deciduous Nothofagus forest. An array of animals can be found here, including three Chilean woodpecker species, passerines, diurnal and nocturnal predatory birds, pumas and foxes.

  • Pumalin Park, Chile
  • Cruising the Gulf of Corcovado
Spanning 750,000 protected acres in Chilean Patagonia, Pumalin National Park is one of the last areas where the unusual alerce forest remains. These huge trees compare in size and age to California redwoods, with some specimens reaching 2,000 years old. The Pumalin Project was established in 1995 by the late American conservationist Doug Tompkins, who wanted to preserve some of the remaining virgin forest in Chile. Walk through the forest with naturalists, visit a hidden waterfall, or climb along a rushing stream and look for forest birds along the trail. In the afternoon, head for the Golfo de Corcovado in search of Magellanic penguins, sooty shearwaters, dolphins and, with luck, whales. ...
