Full description
Embark on a fascinating navigation through the Patagonian fjords to discover the majesty of the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers from Puerto Natales
The adventure begins by entering the Senoret channel, navigating through landscapes of unparalleled beauty in Chilean Patagonia. During the journey towards Guanaco Island, we will be able to admire the impressive rock walls inhabited by cormorants and, with luck, spot the beautiful Magellanic dolphins and majestic condors that dominate the southern skies.
The sea voyage will take us to the imposing Mount Balmaceda, where we will contemplate the homonymous glacier before disembarking at Puerto Toro. From this point, we will take a guided hike through a lush native forest of coihues, nirres, and ciruelillos. This trail will lead us to the shores of the Tempanos lagoon, revealing the dazzling view of the Serrano glacier and the perfect contrast between the ancient ice and the Patagonian sky.
To crown this experience, the day includes a stop at a traditional estancia where we will enjoy a typical creole lunch. Surrounded by wild and untouched nature, we will taste local flavors before starting our return to Puerto Natales.
