My husband, friend and I all met up in Puerto Varas to do the 6 Day FULL Pumalin Park excursion with YAK Expediciones. My husband and I are very "outdoorsy" people and wanted to do a kayaking trip, that wasn't too touristy, yet be safe, by going with a guide. YAK and Juanfe exceeded all of our expectations! First off,... More

My husband and I did a day trip with JuanFe and kayaked the Fjord Reloncavi starting from Cochamo. It was SO wonderful! JuanFe is a man of vast knowledge and a good sense of humor. We got lucky with the weather and enjoyed a wide ranging conversation with Juanfe about the area. This is a great way to experience this... More

We had a great experience doing a kayaking day trip with Yak Expediciones with Juanfe. He is just the right combination of serious and fun-you know that you're in good hands and that you're going to have a great time. The scenery is breathtaking. We had a great lunch and even when the weather turned, Juan led us back and... More

We went for a 4 days trip with Yak expediciones to fiordos quintupeu at parque Pumalin, with my boyfriend (who was in Chile for the first time to visit my family and the country), my brother and his girlfriend. I am Chilean, and have visited a good part of my country, however, I'd never had such a good experience before.... More

Did the 6 day trip to the fjords with Juanfe, the owner/operator, who has been running trips for a long time. The difference with him as compared to other groups is his deep relationships with the local residents who live and work in the area of Pumalin and north Patagonia. He is a true outdoorsman and tells it like it... More

I had the fortune of getting this trip as a gift from my wife. It starts in Puerto Varas, a city with a strong German influence in the south of Chile. After one day of a little trekking and driving we setup our first camp at the house of local people (former colonists) who served us delicious preparations of their... More
