Description of the excursion
The Canopy Tour at Pueblo Alto Lodge is not just an adventure activity, but a soaring flight through the heart of Patagonia. The circuit is technically designed with 8 strategically placed stations and 5 cables that complete a total route of 2,000 meters, allowing visitors to glide above the treetops in an experience filled with excitement and panoramic views.
Safety is our absolute priority. Therefore, the system features double steel cables, spun to high-strength standards to guarantee maximum reliability. Personal equipment includes high-speed double pulleys, ergonomic harnesses, protective gloves, and helmets with side reinforcements—all internationally certified for intensive use in mountain activities.
The setting for this adventure is Pueblo Alto Lodge, located in a privileged geographical spot: just 35 km from Esquel, 11 km from Trevelin, and a mere 5 km from the entrance to Los Alerces National Park. As participants progress along the different sections of the circuit, they can immerse themselves in the biodiversity of the Valdivian Rainforest, recognizing ancient specimens of native vegetation such as ñire, coihue, and maiten trees.
From the high platforms, unforgettable vistas unfold before you: the imposing silhouette of the Cordón Situación mountain range, the deep blue of Lake Futalaufquen, and the spectacular Fontana Stream basin. On clear days, the horizon reveals the distant and massive Cerro Tres Picos, crowned by the ever-majestic Andes Mountains.
