We will travel across the beautiful Cochamó Valley in 3 days walking 4 to 6 hours a day, carrying only 5k / 11lb on your back (day backpack), while the rest of the equipment is carried by horses guided by ‘arrieros’ from the area. We take care of all the details to prepare on the spot delicious and abundant food next to a nice bonfire in the open air.
Cochamó Valley is also called the Chilean ‘Yosemite’ and it represents the essential North Patagonia with its enormous granite walls that attract climbers from all over the world and that are starting to explore the possibilities of new routes of trekking and climbing.
Get inside of the exuberant rainforest with ancient trees like the Alerce -the second most long-lived tree in the world- that can live 3.500 years and reach heights of 50m. We will cross rivers using traverses, climb up to the tree line to have spectaculars views of the valley and rappel down to the valley.
