Our first stop, the little town of Curaco de Velez with its finely preserved antique houses is also our stop over for sampling its delicious oysters. Afterwards we'll arrive to Achao, where we'll have plenty of time for exploring the town as well as relishing the architecture of the region's oldest church. Later that afternoon we'll make our way back to the city of Castro.

Our excursion of the Puntra River is a 4 hour adventure through submerged temperate rain forests that boast an abundance of bird life, among other flora and fauna – all associated with this wet temperate ecosystem. Once we get back to the vista point we'll enjoy a rejuvenating lunch and head back to the city of Castro.

Afterwards we make our way to the National Park Chiloé. The town of Huillinco at the entrance way to park is also a jumping off point to the lake of the same name as well as Lake Cucao. We'll make sure that we take all the time necessary to take in not only the magnitude of the Pacific Ocean but also appreciate one of the more conserved ecological niches in Chiloé. There'll be no shortage of Park trails and Beach to explore before heading back to the city of Castro.

After a brief introduction to our horses and some basic instructions from their handlers we'll be well on our way down an old horse trail to the beach and to the little town of San Jose. From the typical wooden chapel in San José we'll make our way into a natural refuge to the flocks of blacknecked swan and a variety of associated bird species found in this marsh environment. Afterwards, we'll have plenty of time to enjoy our box lunch before heading on the trail toward our awaiting vehicle which takes us back to the city of Castro.
