The route

D1

Bahía Murta → Camp

You enter the native forest. The river can be heard in the distance. At km 5, cell service disappears. So does the world you left behind.

D2

The climb

1,600 m of cumulative elevation gain. Your body tells you to stop. You keep going. As you enter the amphitheater, the towers rise above you from the valley floor. It is the kind of view that stops you in your tracks and leaves you silent.

D3

The return

You head back down. 42 km in three days, with everything taken care of. No crowds, just your group.

You do not find that on the tourist trail.

42 km · 3 days Max. 7 guests No cell service after km 5 All-inclusive

THESE ARE THE FOUR REASONS
THEY MENTION IN THEIR REVIEWS.

These are not our claims. They are what people talk about when they return.

01

Most mentioned in reviews

YOU WALK.
WE HANDLE
THE REST.

Meals, tents, logistics and transfers — everything is arranged before you arrive. You only carry your personal backpack.

02

No lines. No noise. No crowds.

No more than 7 guests per departure — by choice, not capacity. Torres del Avellano is not part of any mass-tourism circuit.

03

If something goes wrong in the backcountry, we have a plan.

Garmin inReach Mini 2 active throughout all 3 days. When there is no cell service, that matters.

04

We live in Bahía Murta. This trail is our backyard.

Vicente and Andrés live 3 km from the trailhead. Four seasons guiding these routes. You cannot learn that in a classroom.

"Nothing was improvised. Camp was set up, meals were ready, and the weather had already been checked. You just arrive and enjoy it. I would go again without hesitation."

Who we are

WE ARE YOUR GUIDES.
WE LIVE HERE.

We are not an agency based in Santiago. It frustrated us that a place like this remained almost unknown — and that people who wanted to visit could not find anyone to take them there properly.

We live in Bahía Murta, 3 km from the main trailhead. We have spent four seasons guiding these routes. We know every river crossing, every slope and every view along the way.

Frequently asked questions

WHAT PEOPLE ASK US MOST.

Straight answers before you book.

You do not need technical mountaineering experience. You do need to be able to hike for 6 to 8 hours at a time carrying a backpack. There is no climbing, but the cumulative elevation gain and three consecutive days demand a real baseline level of fitness.

If you are unsure, message us before booking — we will tell you honestly whether this trek is right for you.

Everything: a certified guide, all meals on the trail, camping equipment, transport from Bahía Murta to the trailhead, and Garmin inReach satellite communication throughout all three days.

You only need to bring your clothing, footwear and personal backpack.

Aysén Weather Guarantee: if conditions do not allow a safe departure, you can either reschedule free of charge or receive a 100% refund. No penalties, no fine print.

We operate from October through April. The best time is November through February: long days, less rain and more stable conditions in the mountains. December and January are the busiest months — booking early is recommended.

Meeting point: Bahía Murta, Aysén Region. You can arrive by bus from Coyhaique (~3–4 hours), drive along the Carretera Austral, or fly to Balmaceda and connect by bus or transfer.

We provide transport from Bahía Murta to the trailhead.

Yes. Scheduled departures bring together up to 7 guests who may be traveling solo, as a couple or in a small group. Groups generally gel well on the trail.

If you want an exclusive trip on your own dates, we can arrange a private departure →

Your booking is confirmed with a deposit. If you cancel more than 15 days in advance, we refund your deposit in full or move it to another date at no charge.

Force majeure cancellations are reviewed directly — we always aim for a fair solution.
