Getting here
Flight Itineraries
We operate on a Sunday-Sunday schedule. When flying to Southern Chile, you will need to fly from the states, to Santiago Chile and from Santiago to Puerto Montt. From Puerto Montt, we often have you stay over, then take an arranged taxi to a smaller local airport where you will take a one of the prettiest flights of your life to Chaiten where we will pick you up and take you to the lodge in Futaleufu. There are some itineraries that will require you to fly into Balmaceda airport near Coyhaique. Each week we operate is unique and fine tuned to your group, so be flexible and willing to let us help you book your flight plans.

The following is a packing list for your trip. While flying to Patagonia it is important to keep the weight of all your luggage at a total weight of 50 LBS.
