Travel 1.5 hours to Chiloé National Park, located in the Lakes Region on the west coast of Chiloé Island. The park is special because its main vegetation is the Valdivian forest -- a rain forest comprised of beeches and the beautiful, endemic alerce tree (Fitzroya cupressoides). Have a look around at the Visitor Center to acquaint yourself with the habitat and ecosystem here.
Then, stroll the Tepual pathway through a forest of tepu.
Enjoy a snack along the way and return to Castro.
Notes:
Limited tourism infrastructure is part of the charm here, and you are trading breadth of experience for authentic interaction. Please bring your spirit of adventure and bear with any language difficulties your guide may encounter and with any operational surprises that may crop up. Travel time to Chiloé National Park is 90 minutes each way. Terrain includes a dirt pathway and approximately 90 stair steps to negotiate (optional steps lead to a viewing platform); parts of the path are a boardwalk.
