Trip in a Nutshell

Ladies & gents, it's time to get your wilderness on. This four day kayak adventure takes you from Puerto Varas into the wilderness of the Pumalín Park, a private reserve owned by none other than the cooler than cool founder of North Face, Doug Tompkins. The fjords lie right between lusciously green forests and under the unbelievably spectacular snowcapped Andes mountains and it sets the tone for a pretty freaking magnificent and wild landscape. The quiet kayak gets you paddling right alongside the friendly dolphins and sea=lions as if you're just one of the pack. And to top it off, every day of this kayak adventure ends with hot-springs to warm up on those cool summer nights.
