National Park Cerro Castillo Traverse
In this adventure I will pick you up at the airport, to drive towards a National Park that offers one of the most diverse landscapes in the region of Aysén, northern Chilean Patagonia. We will walk along and through pristine glacial rivers, from grassland “pampas”, through forests, up to mountain passes to finish with one of this region's most iconic mountain views of the colossal Cerro Castillo, crowned with its sharp sedimentary rock towers and a gorgeous glacier on its chest, that will leave you speechles. All of our adventures end with a proper Asado!
This multi-day trip is memorable, unique and offers a dive into one of the world’s richest wildernesses.

Day 01
I will greet you at Balmaceda Airport, then drive with you to Coyhaique, to a pre arranged destination. Later that day we will take a look at equipment, route and any left over detail. We will also meet the rest of the team who will make this adventure possible!
Day 02
Adventure day, so let's get a solid breakfast and we head towards Cerro Castillo, stop at las Horquetas, let's loose the wheels! Our First day in Patagonian wilderness offers a huge range of landscapes. you will already today know, why you came.
Day 03
After our coffee or Mate, in case we have already converted you! We will then dig deeper in this National Park, going over passes this time, landing in a campsite deep in a Nothofagus Forest that will host us for tonight.
Day 04
Today is another big day, because we get to meet the chief, the master, the majestic Cerro Castillo. This wise and epic mountain names the National Park for a reason, for that very reason, we will need to earn a good sight. Despite our effort, it is in the hands of the weather if we catch a good image of it!
Day 05
Today, we decide, depending on weather and our legs, if we go to Laguna Duff or if we just climb down to Villa Cerro Castillo, but if you came down here, I am leaning towards the first option. This might give us another chance to appreciate this mountain!
Day 06
Our day off in Cerro Castillo is not just about hanging out, this is day where we can add activities or catch up from any situation that might have delayed us in the Park. Outdoor Adventures should be planned to enjoy !
Day 07
After our round of hugs a private transfer will take you to catch your flight at Balmaceda Airport or to Coyhaique, either or, I can arrange it!
