BALMACEDA
AND SERRANO GLACIERS
ACTIVITIES FROM PUERTO NATALES AND THE AREA
Balmaceda
and Serrano Glaciers
Duration: 9 hrs from Puerto Natales
Visiting them means admiring a majestic place almost never touched by
men. The only access to this zone is by sailing through the Seno de Última
Esperanza (Last Hope Sound). The 2,035 meter Balmaceda mountain is part
of the Bernardo O'Higgins National Park. Travelling to Balmaceda is a
pleasure. The journey starts at Puerto Natales pier, going through forests
of coigües, canelos, lengas, ñires, chilcos and calafates,
and discovering sea wolves, cormorants, quetru ducks, condors and seagulls.
When going along the coast, the ship gets closer to sea wolves colonies
to finally reach the mountain. There is the Balmaceda glacier, where huge
pieces of ice detach falling into the fjord waters and the Serrano glacier,
located in the north where you can arrive by land next to a small lagoon
formed by the de-icing activity.
The return trip starts around 2:30 PM and it includes one stop at the
Perales estancia, where passengers have the chance to enjoy a delicious
typical regional lunch. Around 5:30 PM, the tour returns to Puerto Natales.
It includes:
o Bilingual guide on board.
o Set menu type lunch.
