El Saltamontes has a variety of interesting "non-fishing "options:

• Bird Watching:
Condors, parrots, kingfishers, ibis, woodpeckers, to name a few.

• Cultural Visits:
A visit to some of the neighboring farms and villages is a fascinating day trip. It is often the most memorable part of a guest's trip to Chile. The local rural people live a lifestyle like one would imagine it to have been like in the Western U.S. a century ago.

• Horseback Riding:
The area around El Saltamontes is horse country and endless trails lead off in all directions through spectacular mountain vistas and virgin forest. The Gorroño family are all expert horse people, and keep a wonderful stable of well-mannered, sure-footed horses appropriate for any skill level of rider.
