EXPLORING ARAUCANIA ANDINA (4 days, 3 nights)

exploring araucania andina exploring araucania andina

This exclusive adventure trip takes you deep into the woods of the Andes to a unique and exceptional camp, the EcoCamp of Nevados de Sollipulli. With its 5 individual domes for guests, it sets new standards in adventure tourism with a touch of comfort. The domes are not comparable to tents since they include beds, central heating, wooden floors and exterior private bathrooms, but they will not isolate you from the natural surroundings as a classical hotel would. Get in touch with nature!

Day 1: Temuco - Nevados de Sollipulli EcoCamp
You will be picked up in Temuco in a 4x4 vehicle and pass the towns of Cunco and Melipeuco before leaving the main road. As you follow the River Carrilafquén up to the camp, several beautiful waterfalls of different shapes and sizes alongside the final kilometers of this 3-hour drive complete the scenic landscape. Dinner and overnight at the EcoCamp Sollipulli. (D)

Day 2: Woods of Nevados de Sollipulli
Today you will enjoy an early breakfast before you start for a hike through an ancient wood of lenga, coigue and ñirre trees, accompanied by an expert guide who will teach you about the local flora. After 4 hours you will arrive again at the camp and have lunch. In the afternoon, you will leave for another short hike into pristine woods and look out for the black woodpecker, chucao, and other typical birds of this region. Take your swimsuit with you to relax in a thermal spring (25 °C / 77 ºF) before you will return to the camp for dinner. In a short presentation, you will hear how the Nevado de Sollipulli Volcano came into being. Overnight at the Eco- Camp. (B,L,D)


Day 3: The Mystery of the Volcanoes
Alter breakfast you will go on an educational hike to a lava flow, 1,000 years of age; and you will see how nature re-conquers the barren black stones of the lava after a destructive outbreak. Hugo Moreno, geologist and expert on volcanoes, will lecture for an hour on volcanology, using the surrounding scenery as a perfect example for geological phenomena. You will return to the camp for lunch. On the second hike of the day, you will walk 30 minutes to a fantastic waterfall of 50 meter / 165 feet height that has formed a natural pool through its force. If you wish, you will be able to take a swim in this pool. Overnight at the Eco- Camp. (B,L,D)

Day 4: Conguillío National Park - Temuco
For your final day, you will be driven to the Conguillío National Park which is considered to be one of the most beautiful and untouched parks in Chile. Lunch will be served at Vista Hermosa or you can enjoy a picnic. In the afternoon you will explore the "Sendero de los Carpinteros", accompanied by a park ranger who will introduce you to the wide variety of local plant and animal species. A transfer then takes you to the airport of Temuco. (B, L)
