Chiloé and Pumalin fjords of Patagonia

Cruise in style to the remotest fjords of Chiloe, set in the heart of Chile’s Patagonia region.

We sail you away from civilisation to scarcely visited areas, where you can watch sea lions play, visit UNESCO world heritage sites and spend time relaxing in natural hot springs set in stunning Andean mountains.

There are walking tours to villages which can only be reached by sea, to a land that it seems time forgot.

Chiloé is renown for its rich folklore, centuries-old culture, fantastic wildlife, deep green pastures, misty forests and fresh seafood.


Untouched wilderness

You can experience local culture with a night at an old farmhouse before you board your lovely vessel, Cahuella. The good ship navigates you through many small, lush islands to meet local families, take short walks and enjoy the peaceful majesty of the Chiloé sunset.

These are places where roads do not exist and the life of the sea is woven into the local culture, and where life follows the rhythm of the tides.

Witness the untouched wilderness of the steep, glacier topped Andes, innumerable birds, old growth temperate rainforest and numerous hot springs.

This trip has the perfect mix of exotic wildlife, fascinating culture and outrageous beauty and if you are looking for a shorter trip, we also have a 4 day cruise


Alternatively, you could trek around the entire Paine massif on our Paine Circuit or, to reach the really remote areas, our Paine W trek and kayak trip.

Check our group and tailor made options. And you can always contact the office with questions or for advice.
