Our first destination is Quila Quina, where we will explore the residential area and its pristine beaches. You will have the opportunity to enjoy lunch at the local rest-bar if you wish (lunch not included).
Our next stop takes us to the Port of Chachín, navigating through the narrow passage that separates Lake Lacar from Lake Nonthue. Here, you will witness the breathtaking Chachín river waterfall, a stunning 30-meter high cascade nestled in the Valdivian jungle.
We will then return to the vessel for a brief sail to the port of Hua Hum. This location offers magnificent green landscapes mirrored in the waters. On our way back, we will pause at Santa Teresita Island, where a quaint chapel dedicated to Santa Teresa del Niño Jesús stands, lending the island its name.
