Description

The navigation begins entering the Señoret channel, heading towards Guanaco Island, where sometimes it is possible to see the small and wonderful Magellanic Dolphins (Toninas). We sail to the block of the Estancia la Peninsula to access the rocky walls where an important population of Cormorants lives, continuing the trip to Punta de Lobos where we find some specimens of this mammal. Then we visit the waterfall and cliffs where we can see condors. At each point of interest, the boat will stop for travelers to enjoy the scenery and attractions. The trip continues to Mount Balmaceda (2035 meters above sea level) where we can appreciate the glacier of the same name and then disembark at Puerto Toro to begin the one hour round trip hike along the shore of the Témpanos Lagoon, accompanied by our bilingual tour guide. Through a native forest of coihues, ñirres and ciruelillos, towards the Serrano glacier, we will enjoy the fascinating vegetation, the contrast between a clear sky and the ice of the imposing Serrano glacier. We will start our return, visiting an estancia, where we will enjoy a typical Creole lunch. After having witnessed a unique, wild and virgin landscape, we finish our excursion in Puerto Natales.
