British Columbia: Nature & Freedom at Lake Chilko 2021

A beautiful trek immersed in the lush nature of Tsylos Provincial Park, in the province of British Columbia, Canada. A total detachment from civilization: sleeping in a tent under the stars, no road or telephone, only the unspoiled nature and the incredible view that surrounds the mountains. You will begin your journey with a breathtaking flight over the Coast Mountains and their glacier, to land on the private airstrip beside Lake Chilko. It will be an all-round adventure, the food and the necessary equipment will be transported by horses and the weather conditions will determine day by day which route to take to discover this majestic territory inhabited by the traditional Chilcotin Tribes for generations.
