Day 1: Lago General Carrera. Arrival at the Balmaceda airport, where you will be met by our guides. We will depart for Lago General Carrera - South America's second-largest lake - along one of the world's most scenic and spectacular roads. Along the way, we will stop for a gourmet picnic and for frequent stretching and photography. In the evening we arrive at a one of the finest lodges on the lake, and later enjoy a delicious dinner.

Day 2: Lago General Carrera. Today we will explore the varied and beautiful landscapes around the southern end of Lago General Carrera. We can have a relaxing day and travel by 4x4 vehicle or make it more active by hiking or horseback riding.
Day 3: Cochrane. Venturing further south into this rarely visited area of Patagonia, we explore the exotic and beautiful scenery along the Baker River, the cowboy (gaucho) town of Cochrane, and the wide open valleys of the Chacabuco where we will more than likely see herds of wild guanaco. We will return to Lago General Carrera and our cozy lakeside lodge.
Day 4: Lago General Carrera and Balmaceda. A relaxing morning at the lodge, or, if we decide to explore the area, there is still plenty of time for an early morning hike or drive to another great location. In the afternoon we will drive or fly by private charter directly to the Balmaceda airport for our flight back to Santiago.
