Private Full-Day Patagonian Forest Hike

Immerse yourself in nature on a full-day hike in Punta Arenas and discover the stories of people who, against all odds, have thrived in Patagonia’s indomitable wilderness for over 11,000 years. Experience the immensity of Patagonia’s untouched wilderness as you hike on a little trafficked trail through the quiet hush of a 100-year-old forest. This hike in Punta Arenas will take you through winding trails abundant with plant life, up windswept hills, and down into the river valley that runs through the city. Crest gentle ridges and navigate pebbled plateaus with incredible 360-degree views of the sculpted geography of the Brunswick Peninsula. Learn how the landscape has, in turn, shaped life in Patagonia. Picnic with a lunch of fresh local flavours in the heart of the forest, enjoying views of towering green trees with moss-decorated branches. Afterwards, see how subtle changes in the landscape change the forest. After your hike, enjoy local tapas and a toast with your guide.
