Day 2: Llancahue
1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Rising early depart by van along the Carretera Austral and cross the southern end of the Reloncavi Fjord by ferry. At Comau Fjord, you will launch your kayaks and paddle for about 2-3 hours in the relatively protected waters until you reach Llancahue Island and its hot springs.

Day 3: Quintupeo Fjord
1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
After an early breakfast, you head towards the mainland, paddling towards the narrow entrance of Quintupeo Fjord. This day is a bit of a longer crossing into the heart of Pumalin Park. The fjord has huge granite walls and massive waterfalls that jump from the Andes to the sea. After a picnic lunch, maybe a shower under a waterfall, you gradually make your way to the camp site. Camp is set up at the end of the fjord and dinner is prepared for a relaxing evening.
Day 4: Cahuelmo Fjord
1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Today, you paddle out of the Quintupeo Fjord into the cove of Cahuelmo, approximately 6 hours. Cahuelmo Fjord is a wonderful place with big mountains that rise from the sea and then go inland among narrow valleys. Keep an eye out for a colony of sea lions! At the end of the fjord the Pumalin Project area and the Cahuelmo hotsprings await you for a soak and view of the sunset. After dinner, set up your tent in the rain forest and say goodnight to another amazing day in Patagonia.
After a hearty breakfast, you have a short paddle to a local fisherman who will transport you back to the van transportation. From there you drive along the Reloncavi fjord on the scenic Austral Highway, arriving in Puerto Varas later in the evening.
