Our destination is the Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers, which are located 31 nautical miles from Puerto Natales and can only be accessed by sea.

The journey begins with departure from the Fishermen's Pier, and after sailing for one hour and forty-five minutes making stops in a colony of Cormoranes (austral birds), sea lions & condor's waterfall, we will arrive at Puerto Toro. Here, we will disembark for 60 minutes to embark on a trek that will bring us closer to the majestic Serrano Glacier. Along the trail, you can enjoy the native flora, including calafates, coihues, lengas, and ciruelillos.

On the way back to the boat, we will head to the bay of Puerto Toro to contemplate the majestic view of the Serrano Glacier. We will pause for a moment for passengers to take photographs and enjoy a toast with whisky and ancient ice.

Subsequently, we will visit the Balmaceda Glacier, which can only be observed from the boat.

Terms & conditions: https://torresdelpaineadventure.com/t%26cs

- It is recommended to bring hydration for the day of excursion, since there is no drinking water on board and due to the sediments it is not advisable to take water from glacial lagoons.

- It is good to carry a waterproof jacket, since there is a tendency to leave the cabin during navigation and temporary showers are common.

- If you have a bus combination to Punta Arenas after this excursion, be sure to buy a ticket around 8:00 p.m. as there are days when due to the number of passengers, the wind and the tides, the tour comes back later than usual to Puerto Natales.
