A journey through native forests, rivers, and hidden waterfalls, perfect for discovering the true essence of Chilean Patagonia.

On this experience, I will guide you to discover some of Aysén's most iconic landscapes in a peaceful, intimate, and nature-filled experience. We will begin our journey by visiting the Velo de la Novia Waterfall, a beautiful cascade surrounded by native vegetation. From here, we will continue our journey toward the Río Simpson National Reserve, located 20 km north of the city. 

Inside the reserve, we will take an easy guided hike, 6 km round trip, walking through native forests and along the waters of the Río Simpson, ideal for birdwatching, learning the history of the area, enjoying the scenery, and connecting with the tranquility of Patagonia. The reserve is an excellent place for spotting birds characteristic of the area, such as the Chucao and Kingfisher, and many other species that inhabit this ecosystem. 

We will continue our journey toward the Cascada de la Virgen, a place very dear to the local community. Finally, we will visit the historic Puente Los Torreones, from where we will have a beautiful view of the valley and can go down to the banks of the Río Simpson. To conclude the experience, we will have a short moment of reflection in the midst of nature, an invitation to stop, look around, and connect with the moment we are living.
