Wind along the legendary Cuesta Caracoles mountain switchbacks to the charming regional capital of Coyhaique for a classic Chilean lamb asado lunch. Dramatic Andean gorges, crystal rivers, and authentic Patagonian hospitality at every turn.
What to expect
Depart the pier in a private, climate-controlled vehicle as your guide narrates the Aysén Region's frontier history. The Cuesta Caracoles route delivers a thrilling ascent through vertical rock walls and plunging river gorges, with stops for photography at the finest viewpoints. In Coyhaique, explore the German-settler Plaza de Armas before sitting down to a traditional whole-lamb asado at a local estancia — slow-roasted over open coals, served with pebre and fresh bread. Return relaxed and full, with the Andes glowing in the afternoon light.
