Mallin Colorado

A journey through the untamed wilderness of Aysén

‘The Rio Baker is as blue as the lake that feeds it and is perfect for rafting. Not too violent, so you also have time to take in the scenery. And that scenery is as spectacular as the rafting. There are also opportunities for fly-fishing for trout’.

ARK56

Since 2011 the Blekinge archipelago has been an UNESCO biosphere reserve. The ocean of possibilities that the archipelago offers has been made accessible by the creation and waymarking of new trails and the renovation and digitalization of existing trails. All of which are now accessible in an app. All routes – hiking, biking & kayak trails – are linked with hubs for transport, grill spots, jetties, lovely lunch places, hotels and other places to stay. The app is easy to use, and available in English.
