About Us

Mapu Yapa, meaning “Earth’s Gift” in Mapuche, is exactly what Mapu Yapa Adventures seeks to share: gifts from the earth in the form of unforgettable experiences shaped by the beautiful landscapes of southern Chile. Rooted in our family’s land in the Los Lagos Region, we invite guests to discover wild rivers, towering volcanoes, ancient forests, and pristine lakes through adventures that feel deeply personal and connected to place.

Our goal is simple—to help people experience Chile in a way that is authentic, immersive, and truly their own. Each journey is thoughtfully designed to blend exploration with connection: rafting the bright turquoise waters of the Petrohué River, hiking volcanic ridgelines, trekking through the legendary Cochamó Valley, fly fishing clear Patagonian rivers, or simply sharing a meal together at the farm after a day outdoors.

We work with trusted local guides and operators throughout the region to highlight the very best of southern Chile while supporting the communities who know these landscapes best. At its heart, MY Adventures is about sharing the gifts of this land—creating meaningful adventures that allow guests to explore Patagonia in a way that feels personal, memorable, and entirely their own.
