Description:
Village of Poyo (17.7km. away from the Lodge) is the starting point for the sea boat trip, of about 3 hours, which take us to the natural hot springs at Cahuelmó in Pumalín Park.

At this small village we will board a local sea boat, which cruises by the coast of the peninsula. After a short trip we enter the Leptepu or Comau fjord, where the Andes mountains rise abruptly from the sea, almost without leaving any space for beaches.

The route allows us, at certain points, to almost touch the forest, while we can observe marine wildlife such as dolphins, seals and sea elephants among a wide variety of marine birds. This scenery accompany us throughout the whole cruise.

Then we get to the majestic entrance of the Cahuelmó channel. At the end of the channel are located the natural hot springs where we have the chance to take a relaxing thermal bath at the natural ponds while we enjoy sightseeing. We have lunch there, in the afternoon we return to the lodge.
