Embark on a unique adventure to the majestic Queulat National Park: Hanging Glacier Route, departing early from your hotel in Coyhaique.
The journey begins with a scenic drive along the iconic Carretera Austral Norte, where you`ll be greeted by breathtaking mountain landscapes, winding rivers, and lush nature that will accompany you throughout the entire trip.
Our first stop will be at the Mirador Marchant, a perfect spot to capture stunning views of the Patagonian landscape.
Next, we`ll stop at the Cascada de la Virgen, a beautiful waterfall that invites you to relax and take memorable photos. We will continue our journey, passing by the serene Lake Las Torres, whose waters
reflect the sky and surrounding mountains, and by the mysterious rock formation of Piedra el Gato, a place
full of legends and natural beauty.
Around midday, we will arrive at the Heart of Queulat National Park. This park is famous for the Queulat Hanging Glacier, an imposing glacial mass that hangs dramatically above the
valley. Despite its easy access, few adventurers have ventured onto its ice, leaving many peaks still unconquered. Here, we`ll begin a gentle 600-meter walk through native forests, a trail surrounded by flora and fauna that will lead you to the shore of the crystalline Laguna Témpano.
For those seeking a greater challenge, there is the option of a longer hike, allowing for a deeper exploration of the park (available on private tours). During the hike, you`ll have the opportunity to observe abundant biodiversity and experience the peace of untouched nature.
On the shore of Témpano Lagoon, we`ll pause to enjoy lunch. If you`re on a private tour, you`ll enjoy a delicious boxed lunch in this idyllic setting. On regular tours, a set lunch at a local restaurant will allow you to savor the flavors of the region. During this break, you can admire the spectacular view of the Queulat Hanging Glacier in the distance, an experience that will be etched in your memory.
After a day full of exploration and discovery,
we will return to Coyhaique, taking with you unforgettable memories of the breathtaking Patagonian nature.
This tour is not only an opportunity to connect with nature, but also to discover the magic and serenity of one of the most beautiful parks in Chile.
