In this experience we will visit the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers and enjoy a delicious lunch in an authentic Patagonian ranch.
We will start our experience from your hotel to get to know two of the most important glaciers in Chilean Patagonia and enjoy relaxing sailing. We will take the boat from the Puerto Bories pier to the Bernardo O'Higgins National Park through the Señoret Canal and enjoy a delicious coffee accompanied by a sweet snack, observing during the trip Monte Balmaceda, where the glaciers we will visit are located.
The first point of interest we will see will be the Bories Refrigerator National Historical Monument, founded in 1913 by the Tierra del Fuego Mining Company and which for more than 60 years was the most important slaughter center in Southern Patagonia (and which today is a luxury hotel-museum).
We can also see the waterfall and cliffs of Condors, and then we will disembark in Puerto Toro to begin a walk led by our guide along the banks of the Tempanos Lagoon through a native forest of coigües, ñirres and plums. Here we will appreciate the vegetation and the contrast between the sky and the sea ice, accompanied by the imposing Serrano Glacier.
Upon returning from the hike, we will board again, then see the Balmaceda Glacier with a well-deserved snack with ice from icebergs detached from the glacier. After having witnessed a unique and wild landscape, we will head to a Estancia to enjoy a tasty Magellanic style lamb roast, after which we will return to the hotel in Puerto Natales

In this Experience we will learn the essentials of Torres del Paine Park, an unmissable destination in Chilean Patagonia.
We will start our experience from your hotel to discover some of the most important areas of the beautiful Torres del Paine National Park, appreciating lakes, mountains and waterfalls as well as the imposing Grey Glacier.
Our first stop will be the Milodón Cave, located 24 kilometers north of Puerto Natales. This Natural Monument is made up of three caves and a conglomerate called the Devil's Chair, a name that comes from popular imagination given to a rocky structure that looks like an armchair that is said to have been the seat of the Milodon and that the legend transformed into a devil.
We will then head to Torres del Paine National Park, where we can observe the Sofía Lagoon, the Prat Range, the Porteño Lake, the Mesa Hill, the Toro Lake, the Sierra del Toro and the Sierra Ballena Mountains.
We will enter the Park through the Serrano Sector Gate and take the road over the Serrano Bridge to continue to the Lago Gray sector, where we will take a pleasant walk along the lake shore and, if weather conditions allow it, we will access the Mirador de la Peninsula Gray and appreciate the front part of the glacier of the same name.
We will return to the Gray Nursery to go to a restaurant located in the sector and there we will enjoy a delicious lunch and a restful rest, after which the second stage of our visit to this beautiful National Park begins.
We will go to the Salto Grande sector and visit the Nordenskjold Lake Mirador to enjoy beautiful views and then continue to the Paine Waterfall, a beautiful place where you can see the discharge of milky waters that come from glaciers through the Paine River and that finally flow into the Sine of Ultima Esperanza.
Then we will return to Puerto Natales passing by the Mirador del Lago Sarmiento, finally returning to the hotel.
