We passed this channel on our cruise to Serrano Balmaceda. It was a nice channel and we even managed to do some bird watching!
The all day trip is worth for the money it costs. Many animals and gletchers Balmaceda and Serrano make your trip unforgetable. The dinner in one of the farms on the bank of Ultima Esperanza is rich and there is enough different sorts of meat. Even if the weather wasn´t nice, teh pictures we made are real beautiful. Raincoat is very necessary!
The Navigation to Bernardo O'Higgins National Park departs from Puerto Natales dock every morning. It is a beautiful journey surrounded by mountains, pristine forests and islands, hanging glaciers.. lots of wildlife and the stunning Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers.. really a beautiful trip! Book it with Punta Alta or 21 de Mayo. The only companies doing daily navigation to there! The trip includes a visit to a traditional estancia, drinks and patagonic lamb barbeque.. this trip it is definitely a must-do
This is a different place, well worth a visit. Great views. Enjoy it!
We took a boat trip early one morning to the Bernardo O'Higgins National Park to see the Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers. It was a lovely way to spend the day. On the way up the fjords we passed some wildlife and smaller glaciers.Our catamaran took us to the park where we disembarked and walked up near to, the glacier with our guide passing a beautiful frozen lake on the way. We were rewarded with a pisco or whisky on the rocks when we returned to the catamaran.After our trip to the park we were back on our catamaran and off to lunch at an estancia where we had barbecued lamb before making our way back to Puerto Natales.The scenery was amazing, it was a great trip and good value for money. I would definitely recommend this if you have time when in Puerto Natales.
This boat trip is really worth!!! We saw he fjords, many birds, waterfalls, Glaciers, and stoped for a lunch at Estancia Perales... And when we thought it couldn't get any better, our boat was surrounded by dolphins!!!! Great!
The weather wasn't great when we took a boat through the channel. But still saw waterfalls and seals along the way. Then stopped and walked up a path to a glacier (can't remember the name). Icebergs in the water and firebush all around - very unexpected.
Last Hope Bay is a long arm of the Pacific which swings by Puerto Natalis and goes miles up to the base of the mountains. A spectacular trip from The Singular to the Cerrano glacier
After the glacier Grey in the park , the two glaciers Balmaceda and Serrano offered of the full day tour by boat Ultima Esperanca fjiord were poor relatives.The BBQ excellent thgough
We stayed in Puerto Natales as our base for visiting Patagonia and the town is located on this large, scenic channel or fjord. All the local hotels provide boat tours to visit glaciers, colonies of cormorants, a salmon nursery and many waterfalls that spill into the fjord. It would be worth your time to take one, but be aware that the unpredictable weather may cause cancellations on very short notice.
