Commonly known as “El Callao”, is the lowland area that in a little more than 25 kilometers connects the northwest shore of Todos los Santos and the western shore of Rupanco Lake. A well-marked trail immersed in the rainforest, flanked by steep mountains and a remote mountain range. We will start our hike at “Las Gaviotas” on the north side of the valley, on the south side of Rupanco Lake. On the first day we will pass through Los Quetros lagoon to get directly to the “Termas de El Callao”. We will spend the first-night camping at the hot springs of the river “Sin Nombre”. In the middle of our trip, we will move up to the heights. We will focus our attention on the “Los Cenizos” cordon. A day’s hike will take us to the top of the “Cenizo” hill, from where the full view of the Lake District can only get better as we contemplate an unique postcard view of the Puntiagudo volcano. On the way back we will continue to the “Refugio Dos Condores” belonging to the Yefi family to rest with a good home cooked meal and on our third day we will discover the Todos Los Santos lake and sail in the direction of the Osorno and La Picada volcanoes. The program includes transportation to the beginning of the trail, navigation of Lake Todos Los Santos, and the return from Petrohue to Puerto Varas. In addition to meals during the days (dinner, D1 and D2; breakfast D2 and D3; lunch D1) and accommodation. In case the accommodation with the Yefi family is not available, we will camp the two nights in the hot springs of El Callao!

The prices of each program are presented in Chilean pesos (CLP, CH$) and correspond to the price per 1 person taxes included. All our programs have a maximum number of clients per guide (ratio) defined by our risk management guidelines, which directly affects the cost of the program. The cost of the program is calculated based on the guide rate per client/itinerary, and the costs associated with it, seeking that always the guide received the better rate for his work.
It is done through the website or by email (info@staging.huellandina.com). We will confirm availability within 24 hours of receiving the information from the participants. A non-refundable deposit of $50,000 CLP per person is required to confirm your reservation (date and program). Reservations must be confirmed at least 14 days prior to the program start date.
Payment in Cash (only Dollars, Euros, or CLP), Credit Card, Online bank transfer (Chilean – CLP or Austrian – EUR Bank). If payment is made in foreign currency, the prices of the programs are based on the exchange rate set by HAE Ltda. at the time of payment.

For those who book the same program together there is a discount of CLP $50.000 per person on the base price when the group of participants is larger than 2. The corresponding option must be selected at the time of booking.
The weather conditions are essential for a safe and enjoyable trip. However, an accurate and somewhat reliable weather forecast can only be had about five (5) days before the planned date for the trip, so we try to be as flexible as possible with reservations made in advance:
To be able to book a date we only require the payment of the reservation fee, and once we have a reliable forecast we re-confirm the date and coordinate the payment of the difference. But if it is not possible to start the ascent because we foresee that there will be poor visibility in the glacial area (precipitation or clouds that reduce visibility to only a few meters) we will look for an alternative date or the refund of the booking fee.
However, if by mutual agreement we decide to start the program (that is, to go out to pick you up or to meet at the lodge), either because the forecast looks good, acceptable, or unclear, and the conditions do not allow us to reach the summit or meet the proposed objectives, there is no refund of the payment!
Yes!
The minimum to perform the program is one (1) person, so there is no problem in doing the program just for you. But keep in mind that it is a shared service, so if there is another person interested in the program and the date they could share the service. But don’t worry we’ll let you know if that happens!
Yes, we have available trekking poles, mountain boots, gloves, backpacks, sunglasses for rent. So if you need something do not forget to let us know in the booking process.
While most of our programs are small groups and it’s almost always just the group you’ve booked together, our regular programs are shared services. So if you would like to book a private program in advance, it will be priced accordingly to the capacity of the clients that the guide or guides could have on that trip. Write to us to see it in detail!

The program includes the technical equipment: crampons, helmet, harness, ice axe. So they basically only require their mountain boots, clothes, and accessories (glasses, backpack, gloves). Anyway you can see the checklist to verify that you have what you need and / or let us know if you need something!
Some programs may also include other items (such as sleeping bags or trekking poles), so if it is indicated in the program it will be available in the program.
Because most of our trips are small groups, it will be just you or a couple of other people, we rent the car from the guide (or our family) to develop the program: A normal car, clean, in good condition and of course with all the required permits. For bigger groups, we hire a driver with a Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van or similar.
