Chile activity tour

Description of Chile activity tour

This fantastic four day activity holiday in the Chilean Lake District is ideal for families and small groups seeking an adventurous few days whilst travelling in South America. Set within the gorgeous Puelo Valley, you’ll be invited to stay in an energy efficient eco-lodge on the shores of Lake Tagua.

The natural surroundings alone will set your heart racing however, when combined with kayaking, horse riding and treks in the mountain foothills, you’ll be hard pushed to find anywhere else half as exciting in the whole of South America.

Alternative activities, such as river rafting, fly fishing and cultural excursions, can also be arranged with full board facilities and airport transfers from Puerto Montt providing a stress free experience for families looking for a break by the lake.

As it’s situated within the confines of Tagua Tagua Park your accommodation has been designed with sustainability and environmental preservation in mind with just 18 guest rooms providing a few home comforts amongst the mountains and lakes of southern Chile.

The onsite restaurant is always particularly well received after a good day spent outdoors with locally sourced specialities, such as lamb, trout, shellfish and wild boar, often to be found on the menu.
