Private Excursion to Calbuco Island
Your adventure starts with a pick-up from your hotel at the scheduled time, as we set off towards one of the most remarkable archipelagos in the Chilean Lake District, with Calbuco Island being the main highlight.
The commune of Calbuco, which serves as the island's capital, is situated in a picturesque area of the Reloncaví Sound. This locale, characterized by lush green islands, offers a stunning natural backdrop.
Our journey around Calbuco begins with a look at the historic Cerro La Picuta, a remnant of early Spanish settlements. We will visit the Municipal History Museum to delve into the town's rich history, which dates back over 400 years. Next, we will proceed to the Plaza de Armas, where we can admire the exterior of the Church of San Miguel Arcángel, known for its statue of the saint that was brought by Spanish colonizers in 1602.
The adventure continues as we reach the Las Terrazas del Amanecer viewpoint, offering stunning panoramic vistas of the Pacific Ocean. Our final stop will be at La Vega cove, where you will have the opportunity to explore and sample local Lake District products independently.
