The Fjord Trail

Day 1: Crossing the Serrano River 

We meet at noon at the park administration; from here we'll take a private transfer, crossing the Serrano River and arriving at Aniceto Astorga's farmhouse. There we'll choose our horses to begin a ride to an unexplored valley at the border of Torres Del Paine national park. We cross several rivers and go through a landscape filled with lakes and wetlands, constantly being surprised by the changing views of the Paine massif and the last glaciers of the Southern Ice Field. We'll spend the night here after setting up camp on the shores of Lake Brush.

Length of excursion: 10 minutes transfer, 4 hours walking and trotting

Meals: Packed lunch, BBQ

Accommodation: Lake Brush Campsite

Day 2: Serrano River

After a hearty breakfast, we continue to Bernardo O'Higgins national park. This trail takes us through humid forests, similar to those of the austral canals, following the Serrano River until it empties into the Last Hope Sound, where we spend the night in the Hosteria Balmaceda with an amazing view of the Serrano glacier.

Length of ride: 5 hours, walking

Meals: Breakfast, packed lunch, dinner

Accommodation: Hosteria Balmaceda

Day 3: Serrano Glacier

We'll begin the day by crossing the river into the Seno de Ultima Esperanza, facing the imposing Serrano glacier at the foot of the Balmaceda Mountain (2148m). Here we make a short easy walk up to the glacier. We'll then take a boat, the cutter, 21 de Mayo navigating via glaciers and canals on our way down to Puerto Natales.

Length of excursion: 45 min walk, 3 hours by boat

Meals: Breakfast, BBQ
