A valid passport is required for U.S. citizens traveling to Chile. As a requirement for entry, your passport must be/have: valid for the duration of your stay and have at least one blank stamp page. Please check your passport expiration date. If any of these requirements are not currently being met, you must have your passport renewed. A visa is not required for US citizens at this time for stays under 90 days. As entry requirements can change, please visit the State Department’s page for Chile for up to date information.

Nationals of all other countries should check travel requirements well in advance of their adventure.

Please schedule your flights to arrive in and depart from El Tepual International Airport (PMC) in Puerto Montt, Chile. Additional details will be included in your Welcome Email, which will be automatically sent after booking, as well as in the travel app you will receive shortly afterward.

Please note that transfers are only included within the flight stipulations that will be outlined in the information provided after booking. However, The Travel Yogi will provide recommendations for additional nights and transfer arrangements if you choose to arrive early for the adventure or extend your stay.

Yes! Without a doubt. Our Patagonia Yoga Adventure goes to very remote locations (that’s the point, right?) and as such travel insurance including trip interruption, trip cancellation and medical evacuation and rescue, at minimum, is required.  A quote will be generated for you during the booking process with our insurance partners Ripcord, however, you may purchase your insurance through any reputable provider.

At this time, no vaccinations are required for travel to Chile. However, we recommend that you are up to date on all routine vaccinations and encourage you to review the latest guidance on the CDC page for Chile before traveling, as recommendations can change. Any specific vaccination or health-related questions should be discussed with your personal physician.

Absolutely! The food is delicious and, as often as possible, locally sourced. All dietary requests should be able to be accommodated provided that you notify us at least four weeks in advance. Please contact The Travel Yogi with any dietary questions.

Yes!  Wifi is readily available at all properties.

On this adventure, you will need to bring your own yoga mat with you. Classes will be designed without props in mind, but bring any props you need to be comfortable in your practice.

Electricity in Chile runs on 220V. Chile utilizes the European plug types C and L. You may need an adaptor and converter, it will be up to you to check your individual electronics.

Once you book your trip, you’ll receive access to our travel app where you’ll find our suggested packing list to help you get trip-ready. However, some of the more important gear to start packing would be a waterproof paddle jacket, quick dry clothes, light to medium weight hiking boots and, of course, your yoga clothes and gear!

Winter for us in the Northern Hemisphere is winter in the Southern.  Most of the trip will take place in a microclimate that experiences less rain and wind than other areas in Chilean Patagonia. Daytime temperatures typically range from 55–80°F (13–21°C), with occasional rain and cooler evenings. You’ll want to be prepared with all of the quick dry and warm clothes that we’ll recommend. You will be supplied with a sleeveless wetsuit when on the river; water temperature will be approximately 60* and you will definitely get wet!

Yes! With rafting and kayaking on the Futaleufú River, you’ll spend plenty of time on the water, and there will also be opportunities for refreshing lake swims along the way. Two of the lodges we stay at also have hot tubs—perfect for relaxing and soaking after a day of adventure. 🙂

Nope, no previous rafting or kayaking skills are required.  Our expert guides will be getting everyone up to speed and the low traveler to guide ratio keeps everything safe and exciting.  And, anyone that wants to skip any portion of the rapids can hike, drive or horseback ride (depending on the day in question) and meet up with the group.  Or, the extra stable safety-cataraft is always available.

This is a physical trip and you should be physically healthy to embark on this adventure.  All levels of yoga practitioners are welcome and no rafting or kayaking experience is necessary.  The most strenuous activity is the 3200 ft ascent to Lake Obsession and anyone who chooses to opt out can horseback ride up the Rio Azul Valley.

Yes!  Of course. Once you’re booked you’ll receive a Welcome Email with important logistical information and a link to your invoice. You can pay any amount at any time on the invoice; you can use it as a payment plan or leave it alone until the final due date. Remember that deposits are non-refundable so please purchase your travel insurance once you have deposited on this adventure.
