Saturday - Yan Kee Way Lodge - Rafting - Trekking & Wine Tasting Dinner

Following breakfast, we will leave Yan Kee Way Lodge for our departure point on the River Petrohué, following the south shore of Lake Llanquihue. The Petrohue River was the venue for the 1999 Chilean National Rafting Championship and our destination for the white water rafting expedition.  We have spectacular view of Lake Llanquihue and the volcanoes Osorno, Puntiagudo, Tranador and Calbuco.  Passing through the small town of Ensenada, we quickly arrive at the river and the section of rapids we will challenge.  We suit up for our expedition in the provided clothing and equipment appropriate for white water rafting including wet suits, spray jackets, life-vest, helmets and paddles. Our expert-guides give us a brief introduction about the section of the river we will run and the necessary instructions in safe practices for our expedition. Following our instruction session, we begin the white-water rafting expedition. The section of the river that we will run is class 3 to 4. Our expedition will take us approximately 10.5 miles down river and approximately one and 1/2 hours to complete. Our adrenaline levels surge as we pass through the breath-taking beauty of the valley through which the Petrohué River flows.  Volcanoes and temperate rain forest surround us as we are thrust along by the white foaming power of the rapids.  Many remark on the visual setting and compare it to the jungle-like landscapes of Southeast Asia. It is no wonder that some call this area the cool jungle. During our ride we will encounter native birds such as Cormoranes, Kingfishers, Golondrinas and tiuques; if we are lucky we will catch a glimpse of Huillín (small otters). Return to Yan Kee Way Lodge. Lunch in our Latitude 42° Restaurant.  At 4:00 we'll depart for Osorno Volcano, where we'll do our treks "Green Lagoon" and "Los Piyellos" and enjoy the wonderful landscapes.  Return to Yan Kee Way Lodge.  At 7:00 enjoy our Wine Tasting and dinner.  Take advantage of our spa facilities.  Retire for the night.

Sunday - Yan Kee Way Lodge activities & return to Airport

Breakfast.  Free day to enjoy the beautiful landscapes, take photographs or walk along the beach.  If you prefer to be indoors, you can watch TV (satellite), listen to music, read a good book, play board games in our lounge or enjoy the facilities of our spa.  This may be an excellent chance to take an excursion or visit tourist attractions that you haven't yet seen.  Transfer to El Tepual airport.
