Spring
in Huilo Huilo

Precipitation begins to descend and the Patagonian forest is loaded with flowers. In this period, the low temperatures lose prominence so you can explore the depths of the Valdivian jungle in unparalleled horseback riding.

Darwin Trail

Venture across the Fuy River via a suspension bridge to a pristine area of the reserve on this 3-hour trek. Appreciate in detail the flora and fauna of the temperate rainforest and depending on the time of year, you can observe the Darwin’s Frog -endemic species that is in danger of extinction- in its natural habitat. Surprise yourself with the singing and hammering of the unmistakable Black Woodpecker, inhabitant of the mature forests. In this medium-high difficulty trekking, you have multiple ups and downs with lots of roots on the way. The path is circular and has an extension of 3.77 kilometers, ending at a viewpoint over the river Fuy.

Volcano at Sunset

There are 10 wooden jars that – made with old tree trunks – allow you to disconnect from the urban rhythm and feel the natural again. The departure is by boat from Puerto Fuy to the hot springs. The navigation in “Doña Hilda” is of 30 minutes, time in which you will observe the virgin shores of the lake and the native forest.
