10-Nights Chile Patagonia Cochamo Valley Hiking

Embark on an expedition hidden away in the wild northern reaches of the Patagonian Andes. This magical region—328,650 acres of granite monoliths, old-growth Valdivian rainforest, and glacial river valleys—is waiting to be explored. Travel deep into remote Valle Ventisquero, a frontier of unnamed peaks and untouched wilderness where millennia-old alerce trees spire toward the sky and turquoise glacial rivers carve dramatic basins. Hike into Valle Cochamo, tucked between 3,000-foot rock walls and lush woodlands.

Highlights:

• Discover the remarkable granite domes and ancient forests of the Cochamo Valley
• Go deep into remote Ventisquero Valley, a hidden Andean sanctuary far from roads
• Paddle Class II+ rapids on the crystal-clear Ventisquero and Puelo Rivers

Important Trip Details:
Moderate to strenuous hiking, including some very steep and rocky sections with exposed tree roots, plus one day Class II packrafting. Daily hikes of 6–9 miles with up to 4,000' elevation gain and loss, and one longer hike of 13.7 miles with 1,050' elevation gain and loss. Strong winds are common and weather can change drastically, potentially adding to the challenge.
