Start the day cycling along Eberhard Fjord toward Puerto Pratt, founded in 1899 to secure Chilean territory in Última Esperanza. Proceed to Puerto Consuelo, an estancia founded by Hermann Eberhard in 1893, looking for a place to raise sheep. Eberhard's exploration led him to discover your next destination: the Mylodon Cave. This cave, now a national monument, reveals the stories of early humans who found shelter here. In 1895, Eberhard uncovered prehistoric Mylodon skin remnants, offering a glimpse into the life of this ancient megafauna.
Take a leisurely walk through the cave and spend the next four hours hiking the Rupestre trail. Along the way, admire forests filled with typical Patagonian trees such as Ñirre, Lenga, and Coihue. Discover three secret caves with breathtaking cave paintings and the viewpoint, where you can frequently see majestic condors soaring through the air. Following that, a private transfer will take you to Riverside Camp, where you will spend the night.
Start your day with breakfast before heading to Grey Lake to meet your kayaking guide. With Paine Grande and Grey Glacier in view, you’ll get a quick briefing on safety and paddling techniques. Then, glide through the lake for 2 hours, weaving among icebergs shaped by wind and sun. As you paddle, take in the stunning granite peaks of Paine Grande, Cordon Olguín, and Los Cuernos, all reflected in the turquoise waters around you.
After leaving Grey Lake, begin your thrilling descent down the Grey River, navigating through canyon rapids framed by towering rock walls. As you paddle 25 km (15.5 miles), stunning views of the Paine Massif will guide you towards the Serrano River. After 4-5 hours on the water, you will arrive at camp, ready to stretch out and enjoy a well-earned dinner.

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
We were referred by a satisfied client and the booking of the trip was everything we wanted to do, and they listened to the types of hotels, sightseeing, etc. we wanted to do.

Rapa Nui was on my bucket list for a long time so I worried that it would not meet my expectations. Our tour could not have been better. Our guide was knowledgeable and professional with an understanding of the island that made it come alive. I would and have recommended this trip to everyone that will listen.

My tour operator was helpful. Unfortunately she was unable to get my single-supplement canceled. Not too many tours charge for that anymore and I almost canceled my trip because of that.
