GLACIERS OF BALMACEDA (2 days / 1 night)
Day 1: We will meet at the Stubenrauch dock at 07:30 where we´ll board with the kayaks the "21 de Mayo" boat that will take us to Mount Balmaceda , where the glaciers of Balmaceda and Serrano come from. In a 3 hour trip across the Ultima Esperanza Fjiord we´ll observe historical sites, fauna and geography that characterize Patagonia . Finally we arrive at Puerto Toro, in the Bernado O´higgins National Park (the biggest in the country) where we´ll prepare the camp & have our lunch. Once we´ve set up camp we´ll begin with safety & paddling instructions to prepare us for our journey in kayak to the Balmaceda glacier through the Ultima Esperanza fjiord, with its waterfalls and cliffs (3 hrs approx). On returning we´ll enjoy the sunset on the fjiord whilst the guide will prepare dinner at the campsite.
Day 2: Early, we will start the day with a nutritious breakfast, after we´ll carry the kayaks 100m. We will enter the lagoon of the Serrano glacier, where in between ice-bergs we´ll open a pass to be able to enjoy the morning light in front of the Serrano glacier until 11:00.On exiting the lagoon, we´ll pack away the camp and have our things ready to board the boat once again to return to Puerto Natales. Along the way we´ll stop off at the tourist complex "Estancia Perales" where we´ll be served a BBQ "Patagonian style." Arrival at Puerto Natales 17:00 approx.
