If you are in Patagonia and visit Natales, take the time to visit this beautiful park, a majestic and almost untouched place due to its remoteness from human activity, as it can only be reached by sea.

 

Navigation through the Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers is an unforgettable experience in the Magallanes region of Chile. These glaciers are located in Bernardo O`Higgins National Park, one of the largest parks in Chile and the largest in the Magallanes region. Sailing through the Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers offers us the opportunity to explore breathtaking landscapes and observe up close the majesty of the glaciers, fjords, mountains, and wildlife in the area.

 

All of this culminates with an exquisite and typical Patagonian lunch, which could be roast lamb or some other Magellanic delicacy with fresh local accompaniments.

 

You will never forget these landscapes and the experience you had today.

Puerto Bories is located 4 km from Puerto Natales, about a 20-minute drive. This is where you`ll find the Frigorífico Bories, which has been a National Historical Museum since 1996.

Our first stop will be at approximately 11:00 a.m. High/12:00 p.m. Low at Balmaceda Glacier. Here we can observe from the boat the impressive front of the glacier, which often displays spectacular ice falls into the sea. If we`re lucky, we`ll be able to see the majesty of the Glacier and the sounds of the ice calving, which create a unique experience.

 

After this visit to the Balmaceda Glacier, we`ll sail to the Serrano River, where we`ll disembark at approximately 11:30 a.m. (High)/12:30 p.m. (Low) to continue by land, with a short, gentle hike through the Patagonian forest, characteristic of the region. We`ll get some of the best views of this only glacier that touches the waters of the lagoon of the same name. Serrano Glacier.

 

After enjoying this natural setting and various views of the Glacier, we will return to the boat to begin our return journey. But not before stopping at a beautiful place located 51 km from Puerto Natales, accessible only by sea: Estancia Perales, where we will enjoy a typical Magellanic lunch at approximately 2:00 PM. High/1:30 PM. It is often a Roasted Lamb, although it could be served with other typical Patagonian dishes, accompanied by various fresh local side dishes.

 

The Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers Navigation is a unique experience for those who want to explore the natural beauty and wildlife of the Magallanes region. A great opportunity to see the imposing Glaciers up close, hear the sounds of ice, and connect with the southernmost and most unexplored nature in the world.

 

We will return to Puerto Natales at approximately 5:00 PM (high/6:00 PM low) on the same boat, full of new memories and tons of photos to download.
