Explore Aiken del Sur Private Park — a 1,000-hectare Valdivian temperate rainforest reserve at the edge of the fjord. A private guided walk reveals cascading waterfalls, endemic flora, and the silence of one of Earth's rarest ecosystems.
What to expect
Trails wind through ancient alerce and coigüe forest draped in Andean moss, leading to a series of thundering waterfalls fed by Patagonian glacial melt. Wildlife sightings include Magellanic woodpeckers, pudú deer, and Andean condors overhead. The park sits directly on the fjord, offering sweeping water views between the forest canopy. The half-day format fits neatly into a port call, ending with a traditional Patagonian barbecue (asado) at the park's lodge.
Good to know
Aiken del Sur is just a short tender or transfer from Puerto Chacabuco — roughly 15–20 minutes. Wear sturdy waterproof hiking boots; trails can be muddy year-round. Book private group access directly with the park for the most exclusive experience. Combine with a glacier excursion for a full-day Patagonia immersion.
