Description

Day 1: Depart Puerto Natales and embark on your full-day adventure to Torres del Paine National Park. Upon arrival, make your first stop at the 1,000-year-old Milodon Caves, created after a massive natural disaster. Marvel at the incredible anthropological value of this site, believed to have been inhabited by the continent's earliest inhabitants seeking refuge from the elements and wildlife. Learn about how these prehistoric people lived near the Milodon, an extinct herbivore. After a 30-minute hike, make another stop at El Castillo Hill, where a cafe is available. Listen to an introduction to Torres del Paine National Park and the Laguna Amarga area. Discover the spectacular local wildlife that inhabits the park, such as red foxes and condors. A little further on, take in spectacular views of Lakes Norsdenskjöld and Pehoé while looking for the guancos (wild Andean llamas) and rheas (relatives of the ostrich or emu) that inhabit the area. The tour continues with a 10-minute hike to the impressive Salto Grande waterfall. Watch in awe as the mighty 10-meter-high waterfall emerges from Lake Nordenskjöld and impacts the surrounding landscape. Admire stunning views of the imposing Mirador Cuernos mountain formation in the distance, known for its resemblance to a pair of animal horns. In the afternoon, continue the hike around Lake Grey and the glacier area. Explore the Grey Glacier ice floe and enjoy a relaxing walk through the lenga forest (a tree native to Patagonia). Then, take a well-deserved 1.5-hour break. At the end of your adventure, you will be returned to Puerto Natales and dropped off at the bus terminal or your hotel. Day 2: We invite you to discover the incredible world of the fjords. Along the way, you'll appreciate the native flora and fauna, visit the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers, and enjoy a delicious whisky on the rocks. 7:00 AM Presentation in Puerto Natales or Puerto Bories. 8:00 AM Sail from Puerto Bories to the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers, crossing the Última Esperanza Fjord, with sightings of beautiful mountains, waterfalls, estancias, and Patagonian birds. 10:45 AM: View of the Balmaceda Glacier. 11:00 AM: Hike to the Serrano Glacier viewpoint in Bernardo O'Higgins National Park. 12:30 PM: Return from the Serrano Glacier to Estancia Perales.
