All
these activities can be done according to the climate,
mainly.
Skiing: Usually
practiced from June until October, when winter in on the
southern hemisphere. There are many ski stations around
Santiago and further south. Colorado, La Parva and Valle
Nevado are located only 60 kmts. from the capital, or close
to an hour away. The Valle Nevado complex, with its three
hotels of excellent quality and comfort: Tres puntas, Puerta
del Sol and Valle Nevado offers to their guests, well equipped
suites and rooms with single, double and triple capacity,
also, a complete line of facilities to ensure the enjoyment
and relaxation of snow lovers, such as game rooms, exercise
areas, heated swimming pool, sauna, massage and beauty
parlor.
Rafting: Rafting
is practiced in many rivers south of Chile, like the Bío
Bío, Trancura and Petrohué rivers. These
rivers are located between Temuco (700 kmts. south of Santiago)
and the Puerto Montt area, which is the rainy part of the
country. Staying from two to five days is very common,
and the accommodations are done in some hotels, residentials
or tents. As a tip, in these rivers, you can also practice
the sports of kayak, canoeing or hydrospeed.
Mountain
Climbing: Differents peaks can be accomplished
for those who love this sport. Each of these hills
are between the 5000 and 7000 meters of altitude, It
is obvious that a good physical condition is a must.
All these expeditions involve a great amount
of logistics and a team of professionals, which is reflected
in the final price, so we recommend that you perform these
trips in groups of 6 or more people, to lower the costs.
Others activities to be perform are: trekking,
horse backriding or mountain biking.

Fishing: The
programs offered for our agency are related to fly fishing.
The programs are realized in Patagonia, where rivers are
suitable and spectaculars catch (sometimes, more than 10
Kgs.)
The fishing areas are from Puerto Montt
to Tierra del Fuego. Our proposal to you, concerning the
differents areas of fishing is that you should try small
islands and remote places,
there are many such places with bilingual guides, small
cabins, restaurants and boats, besides places for the family
entertainment.
Near by Coyhaique, we find a variety of
rustic complex, where open spaces and limpid water rivers
provide satisfaction to professionals and amateurs in this
field.
Further south, some of the programs offers
great accommodations, circuits around the Torres del Paine
National Park or near by Puerto Natales city, allows you
to fish some Rainbow Trout or the Fario and Fontinally
variety.
For those who dare to be brave, a circuit
to Tierra del Fuego will make you experience great fishing
trips in extreme conditions, In places where you will not
see many people and accommodations to sleep will be in
tents under the souther sky.
The fishing season in Chile starts on October
14th and closes on April 14th of each year.
