Chaitén
"The small coastal town of Chaitén is our gateway to the Futaleufu Valley as our kayaking, rafting, fly fishing and sea kayaking and Patagonia travel trips start and end here. It is also a gateway to the southern road to Coyhaique and the Pumalín National Parks. If you want to get here early, Chaiten is a great place to stay before our trips begin."

Pumalin Park
"In 1991, North American Douglas Tompkins, a long time visitor to Chile since 1961, bought the Reñihué Ranch with the idea to set aside 42,000 acres of evergreen temperate rain forest from possible exploitation. In the intervening years The Conservation Land Trust has added another 700,000 acres in nearly contiguous parcels to comprise the Pumalín Park."
