Day 8: Puerto Natales - Full-day Balmaceda & Serrano glaciers navigation
The Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers are located within Bernardo O'Higgins National Park, situated 31 miles northwest of Puerto Natales and part of the Andes mountain range. Visiting it means admiring a majestic place, almost untouched by man. Access is only by sea, navigating through Fiordo de Ultima Esperanza, named after the "last hope" of finding the Strait of Magellan in 1557 by an expedition searching for it from the Pacific Ocean. The journey begins at Puerto Natales dock, and along the way it is possible to see buildings belonging to Bories refrigeration plant, one of Patagonia's largest meat processing industries, and observe a colony of Imperial Cormorants, a small colony of sea lions and a variety of plants comprising the flora, such as Coigüe, Canelo, Lenga, Ñire, Chilco and Calafate among others. Balmaceda glacier can be seen from the ship, however, to visit Serrano, a 20-minute walk along a path bordering a small lake created by glacier melt is necessary. Return to selected hotel.
