Over five days, we circle the immense Tronador, crossing the Andes and returning home. We cross into Chile combining trekking and packrafting, exploring the depths of the Valdivian rainforest and its hot springs. We then float down the Río Blanco and cross Lago Todos los Santos to traverse the mountains again, returning to Pampa Linda (Argentina) in a 5-day expedition: the Double Crossing of the Andes.

Itinerary

  1. Day 0

    Meet-up, pack organization, gear and equipment check, and group briefing with all participants and guides.

  2. Day 1
    Pampa Linda to Lomas del Huenchupan

    We set out from the foot of Tronador (Pampa Linda) with the goal of crossing into Chile. This is the day with the most elevation gain of the expedition, and we'll have horses to help us reach Lomas del Huenchupan, a spot with a unique view of Tronador and a bivouac built by the De La Cruz family. From this day on, we'll be on Chilean soil.

  3. Day 2
    Lomas del Huenchupan to Termas de La Junta

    On our second day of the expedition, with our packs loaded, we head to a dreamlike place, "Las Termas de Leti," where the Río Blanco meets the Río Esperanza, creating a spot among trees, ferns and hot springs. Yes, you read that right!! Natural hot springs with a jungle backdrop on the banks of a crystal-clear river.

  4. Day 3
    Our rest day in the oasis of our double crossing of the Andes
  5. Day 4
    From the Hot Springs to Lago Todos los Santos (Packraft)

    We'll hike about 4 hours to the confluence of the Blanco and Vuriloche rivers. From here begins one of the most challenging days of the expedition: with our boats and packs, we'll descend the Río Blanco. A few kilometers before the river mouth, we'll camp in a unique spot. This is definitely the most adventurous day of the whole expedition, and between paddling and trekking, we're sure to have plenty of fun. We'll meet René, who will take us across to his home at the other end of Lago Todos los Santos. He and his partner Yannet will welcome us with delicious food and wonderful hospitality. We'll have dinner and sleep at the locals' home.

  6. Day 5
    Crossing to Peulla - Lago Frías and return to Bariloche

    We cross to Peulla and at midday take a bus to Puerto Frías. We complete the Chilean exit and Argentine entry formalities and get ready to board. We sail across Lago Frías to Puerto Alegre. Then a bus to Puerto Blest, where we'll wait for the catamaran that will take us to Puerto Pañuelos in Bariloche. End of the journey.

What to bring

  • We will spend 1 night in a hut; the rest will be camping.
