Differents sports can be realized in Chile due to its geography, skiing at Los Andes, fishing at Patagonia, rafting or kayak on the tumultuous waters of the Bío Bío river, or simply mountain climbing, that allows the enthusiast the ascension of volcanos and snow-covered peaks.


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.
