Just you, us, and the wilderness.

You’ll find our conservation ranch and wilderness classroom in the Aysén region of Chilean Patagonia, along the water’s edge of Lago Plomo in the Soler Valley. Puerto Bertrand is your departure point for Patagonia Frontiers, where you will boat seven miles across two connected lakes to reach our main ranch. This splendid isolation guarantees our exclusive privacy and unique wilderness access. 

Although remote, our nature conservancy ranches are at the nexus of Chile’s Route of Parks (Ruta de los Parques), a storied and ambitious conservation project that connects an astonishing 17 national parks along the 1,500-mile Carretera Austral.

HOW TO GET HERE

Most international travelers arrive in Santiago, Chile (SCL) in the early morning on an overnight flight, connecting to the Balmaceda (BBA) regional airport on the earliest daily departure (via Latam, Sky, Jetsmart airlines). From the regional Balmaceda (BBA) airport, it is a five-hour drive on mostly paved roads to Puerto Bertrand, followed by a seven-mile boat ride to our homestead. The main ranch house is at the end of Lago Plomo and is only accessible by boat or horseback. Unless otherwise arranged, our tours include private transfer from Balmaceda regional airport. 

For travelers in Chile, Puerto Bertrand is located along the Carretera Austral (Route 7), about five hours’ drive south of Coyhaique (176 miles). For reference, the boat launch is just about an hour and 20 minutes south of the marble caves at Puerto Rio Tranquilo, one of the must-see destinations along the Carretera. 

Patagonia Frontiers @ Lago Plomo, Aysen Region, Chile

The Patagonia Frontiers ranch and reserve is the western sentinel to over 400 square miles of navigable lake waters and the private gateway to a vast mountain wilderness encompassing the national parks of the Northern Patagonia Icefield and various adjacent ranges.

Aysen Region, Chile

While your adventure destination is a remote and exclusive wilderness, access to our ranch is conveniently located at a hub point in Aysen Patagonia along the Carretera Austral. We are close to Patagonia National Park in Valle Chacabuco. The new national park combines two large National Reserves, and is an excellent location for game viewing of guanaco, condors, foxes, rheas, and other wildlife.

Overview of the ranch property

Our homestead is over 5,000 acres situated at 600 feet above sea level and surrounded by peaks of 4,000 - 6,000 feet, with mountains of 11,000 - 14,000 feet located just a few miles away.
