A new route to Northern Patagonia has opened up and now, with an inexpensive three-day family rafting adventure scheduled, now would be a great time to make the trip.
By car, the new route begins an hour south of Puerto Montt in the village of Hornopiren, where you board a ferry for a four-hour journey along a beautiful fjord to a tiny place called Leptepu. Then drive a few kilometers to another ferry, which will take you to on Caleta Gonzalo and the entrance to Parque Pumalin, the vast nature reserve established by North Face founder Douglas Tompkins.
