 Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers |
| Daily Departures - From 135 usd - Duration: 9 hrs. from Puerto Natales. |
 Visiting them means admiring a majestic place almost never touched by men. The only access to this zone is by sailing through the Seno de Última Esperanza (Last Hope Sound). The 2,035 meter Balmaceda mountain is part of the Bernardo O'Higgins National Park. Travelling to Balmaceda is a pleasure.
The journey starts at Puerto Natales pier, from the ship we will see forests of coigües, canelos, lengas, ñires, chilcos and calafates, and discovering sea lions, cormorants, quetru ducks, condors and seagulls. When going along the coast, the ship gets closer to sea wolves colonies to finally reach the mountain. There is the Balmaceda glacier, where huge pieces of ice detach falling into the fjord waters and the Serrano glacier, located in the north where you can arrive by land next to a small lagoon formed by the de-icing activity.
