Enjoy an all-day boat trip to the glaciers Balmaceda
and Serrano, leaving Puerto Natales via the "Last Hope Fjord" where
you will see the spectacular Balmaceda Glacier coming down from the mountains.
At the end of the fjord, you leave the boat and walk through the sub-Antarctic
forest, until you reach the foot of the Serrano Glacier. The chance to get this
close to a glacier is very rare!
Let the
ancient ice work its enchantment on you. Afterwards, you will have a typical
Patagonian lunch at the Estancia Perales. Revived and refreshed, you will start
an adventurous trip by zodiac into the Torres del Paine National Park. Do not
be afraid of wind and water... The river meanders through wild landscapes,
enchanted canyons and fjords, and here and there, you will see the ice of
glaciers. In the afternoon, you will arrive at your lodge, spending the night
in the comfortable and homely Hotel Las Torres Patagonia, a former sheep farm
right at the foot of the Torres massif.
