Casa Penaflor

Driving through Chacabuco and Coyhaique with Angelika as our guide/hostess was one of the highlights of our cruise! The scenery interesting and exotic and beautiful. Angelika's commentary was funny, insightful and informative. Her gracious welcoming (and feeding) at her home was wonderful.

Unfortunately rain was not in our favor and the ship arrived late so we did have to shorten the trip. The guide was very good and we had a good day just weather was not great. I always feel rushed but so much better than a ship excursion. The wine was flowing though at lunch and very good. Would have enjoyed more time at the falls to shop.

This was the first time that we had taken a Cruise Web/Shore Excursion and our host: Angelika Deutsch was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Chacabuco (history/excursion) and her hospitality at the end really appreciated. Her kuchen was delicious (we ate more than 1 piece) yum..

Our guide & van were at the port as soon as we arrived via ship tender. Our first stop was to the tour company owner's home for refreshments, which was enjoyable. Next we visited the sites of the area which included breathtaking landscape of the mountains and river, including Cascada La Virgen. The final stop was in the city of Aysen and the Ibanez Bridge. Our guide was excellent and the tour was very enjoyable.

Tour took us from the coast up in the highlands through some really unspoiled and beautiful landscapes. Coyhaique, major town in the province, full of hikers and other tourists is not much to write home about. Our guide invited our group to her home for coffee and cake. Very nice indeed.

We thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. We did a variety of things and make numerous stops so the time on the bus was broken into segments. Angie took us to her beautiful home and we enjoyed drinks and a fabulous dessert. Would,recommend this tour.

This excursion was amazing. Our guide, Angie, was wonderful. We saw so many beautiful places! But the highlight was going to her home for cocktails, kutchen, coffee and tea. She and her husband were wonderful hosts and they live in a beautiful setting. I would highly recommend this excursion.

Our hostess and tour guide showed us a beautiful part of Chile. The tour was topped off with a taste of the local drink, and delicious coffee and cake at her gorgeous home.

Having Puerto Chacabuco as a port of call on our cruise, we neither wanted to buy some over priced shore excursions on board our cruise ship, nor did we want to just walk around the Town. So, in advance, we booked the 6 hours "Casa Penaflor Tour". Our guide ANGELIKA, originally from Germany, (she speaks fluently English, German, Spanish) was already waiting for us at the port, also a very comfortable van with driver. We visited all places that were described in the tour itinerary, even some places more. She even invited us to her home for a "homemade pie (delicious! ) and coffee" break.  Angelika is very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a deep insight into this area, its history and into the daily life of the people here. Even on an extensive tour, she is always aware of the time and you can be assured that with Angelika you will not miss your ship. So, if you are on a cruise and want to spend the day in the beautyful region of Puerto Chacabuco/Aysen/Cohaye, TAKE  THIS TOUR !

Our host was a German immigrant of 10 years. She was very knowledgeable of the history and gave a unique point of view. The special surprise was a visit to her beautiful home in the hillside, where we were greeted with Pisco sours and home baked coffee cake. Could not be happier with the tour.
