  • This region is one of the least explored in Chile and offers some amazing opportunities. With your guide, you could choose to visit the famous Marble Caves, take a boat onto the beautiful Lake, try your hand at fly-fishing on the Baker River or horse ride in some untouched corners of Patagonia (some of these may incur an extra cost).
