Description
Sailing the Pacific. An amazing experience to watch penguins. Horseback riding on the Pacific coast
Embark on an unforgettable adventure along the Chilean Pacific coast.
From Santiago, we'll head to Papudo, where we'll start our coastal boat trip to Isla Lobos, a nature sanctuary: home to sea lions, cormorants, pelicans, and, of course, Humboldt penguins, recently declared endangered. Watching them in their natural habitat, among waves and cliffs, is a privilege that moves you and connects you with the essence of the ocean.
After the seaside promenade, the route continues to Playa Los Lilenes, where horses await us for a scenic ride among hills, trails, and ocean views. An experience that combines the serenity of the Chilean countryside with the power of the Pacific.
A journey of nature, adventure, and deep connection with wildlife, guided by local experts and designed to experience the best of Chile's central coast.
