You'll depart from your hotel in Puerto Natales towards Puerto Bories to travel the Señoret Canal and reach the Balmaceda and Serrano mountain glaciers, part of the Bernardo O'Higgins National Park. In this route, you'll appreciate the cattle ranches, a colony of cormorants, sea lions and condors in fabulous flights over you.
The first view will be El Velo de la Virgen (The veil of the Virgin), a beautiful waterfall between the large rock walls and cliffs that adorn the landscape. Then, you'll stop to appreciate the mountain glacier of Balmaceda, which is 2,035m high and is part of the Andes Mountain Range on the mountain that has the same name; its activity is in retrocession, losing ice due to global warming like almost all glaciers of the planet.
You'll continue the navigation to disembark at Puerto Toro pier, where you'll make a short hike through the Ñirre forests to reach the foot of Serrano Glacier, where you'll admire its beauty and the occasional detachment of large pieces of ice at the waters of a lagoon formed by the thaws. Next, you'll return to the boat to enjoy a cocktail of Pisco with ice of the glacier, to warm up the body and then move to Estancia Perales, a Patagonian estancia that awaits you with a typical regional lunch.
