Highlights
This experience combines culture, nature, and tranquility in one of Chile’s most authentic corners — the Calbuco Archipelago.
You’ll discover the charming coastal town of Calbuco, enjoy a city tour through its colorful streets and local life, and visit San Antonio Bay before boarding a short navigation to Chaullín Island (Helvecia), a peaceful place once admired by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda.
The highlight of the day is a guided interpretive trek through the Millennial Arrayán Forest, one of the three oldest in the world, where twisted cinnamon-colored trees create a magical, almost spiritual atmosphere.
This journey is ideal for travelers seeking authentic, off-the-beaten-path adventures that blend Chilean culture with pristine southern nature — a day of discovery, fresh air, and calm energy.
