We will take you on this Corral & Isla Mancera Boat Tour, one of Valdivia’s signature experiences, blending history, landscapes, and local culture.


You will sail along the Valdivia River, passing landmarks such as Isla Teja, Isla Mota, Isla del Rey, Isla Sofía, and Cutipay Bridge, while enjoying river views. Then you will explore two impressive colonial fortresses: the San Pedro de Alcántara Fortress on Isla Mancera, and the San Sebastián de la Cruz Fortress in Corral. Built in the 17th century, these structures were part of a defensive network against pirates, corsairs, and foreign powers.


During the journey, you will enjoy a traditional lunch at a shared table and have time to capture unique photos of the river and landscapes.


Finally, we will return in the afternoon, admiring the beautiful colors over the Valdivia River, closing a day full of culture, nature, and history.
