Walk Through Ancient Seas & Wild Patagonia
Discover a truly unforgettable half-day adventure in Puerto Guadal — where dramatic landscapes, rich biodiversity, and deep geological history come together. This iconic fossil trek is more than just a hike; it’s a journey across changing terrains and through millions of years of Earth’s story, offering breathtaking views and rare discoveries at every step.

At Errática, we design guided adventures that can be tailored to your interests, combining our curated routes with fully personalized experiences across Aysén.
Your journey is based in Puerto Guadal—the “Pearl of the Lake”—a small traditional town of around 600 inhabitants on the shores of General Carrera Lake, framed by the breathtaking Northern Patagonian Ice Field.
From this perfectly located base, you don’t need to keep moving accommodations. Instead, you stay in one place and explore in every direction—glaciers, national parks, rivers, fossil landscapes, and hidden valleys—all within reach.
Puerto Guadal becomes your home base in this vast landscape, and Patagonia unfolds from there.

Patagonia National Park – A Living Example of Rewilding Done Right
Patagonia National Park stands as one of Chile’s most visionary and successful ecological restoration projects. Once home to one of the country’s largest livestock ranches, this vast landscape was reimagined through the pioneering efforts of Tompkins Conservation and later donated to the Chilean state. Today, it is recognized globally as a leading model for rewilding and large-scale conservation.
The park has been transformed into a thriving sanctuary for iconic Patagonian wildlife, including pumas, guanacos, Andean condors, and the endangered Huemul — Chile’s elusive national symbol. Visitors can explore a rich mosaic of steppe, wetlands, and lenga forests, supported by well-designed trail networks, interpretive centers, and active rewilding initiatives that bring this remarkable transformation to life.

As you ascend, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views of General Carrera Lake and the distant glow of the Northern Ice Fields, a landscape that feels both vast and timeless.
