The abundant coastal wildlife of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego includes large colonies of sea elephants, sea lions and penguins. Other ski slopes in the area can be found at Farellones-El Colorado, La Parva and Valle Nevado . This is particularly good in the Lake District and in Patagonia, South America's southernmost region. The lakes near Puerto Montt , a port city whose economy is mainly based on fishing, offer excellent trout fishing. Various companies offer guided ascents, but ice gear is required.
Guides are compulsory.
The scenery around the Bio-Bio includes hot springs and waterfalls, but the construction of several dams along the river will change conditions. As an alternative to walking, guided horseback trips are widely available in Chile's national parks. The International Horsemanship Championship are held in Vi a del Mar in January. Chile's coastline is indented by many bays and fjords where various types of watersports, including swimming, diving, water-skiing and boating can be enjoyed. Terms and Conditions apply.
