Breakfast and transfer to the Pier to get on
board at approximately 8 am everyday during summer season. After
sailing for about 15 minutes we will arrive at Bories Port, and
industrial place. One hour later, we will navigate Señoret
Channel, Eberhard Fiord and Ultima Esperanza. After two hours navigation
from Natales Port, under normal conditions, we will reach “Cormoranes”
Colony, having hundreds of these birds, resembling penguins. As
we get nearer the Fiord, the landscape becomes wilder and more attractive,
for its vigorous mountains. Now we have majestic Balmaceda Mount
before us, as well as the glacier bearing the same name, being detached
from the eastern side. This mount is 2035 m high and there are very
few antecedents of its having been climbed up to its main peak.
The above mentioned glacier is in recession as nearly all glaciers
in the planet.
After sailing for 4 hours, we will come alongside Puerto Toro pier;
walking about 1000 m. you can get to the glacier on foot. Balmaceda
and Serrano glaciers belong to Balmaceda Mount National Park. You
can see the mountains of Paine from the ship. Return to Puerto Natales
and end of navigation. Transfer to hotel. |
