DAY 0 / Briefing of the expedition in Puerto Natales.

Our local guide will meet the participants at the night before the expedition to give general information about this adventure, to confirm pick up time, to solve some doubts the participants might have and to deliver the equipment that supplies with.

DAY 1 / Alacalufes Path - Bernal glacier.

We pick up the participants of the expedition from the Hotel around 09:00 am, then we take a boat to navigate 5 minutes from Puerto Natales to Antonio Varas peninsula, across Señoret channel. We continue by vehicle for 1 hour through a gravel road to Estancia Mercedes, where we take our fast boat Explorador IV and navigate for one more hour until the end of the Resi fjord, the entrance of Kawesqar National Park.

During the navigation it is posible to watch seals, dolphins, penguins, cormorants, condors, and other species.

From Resi fjord we must hike about 20 minutes to reach the lagoon Acantilados, which is incased between huge rock walls and the only way to go across it is by boat, so we have to navigate 5 minutes to get to the other side of it to continue hiking 60 more minutes to reach Huiros bay. Here the boat West Patagonia will take us to the floating refuge Explorador to enjoy of a tasty lunch.

Later we go trekking from the same bay up to the Condor lookout, where is possible to admire the Mountains fjord from south to north, with a privilege view of the Sarmiento mountain range, and Bernal glacier. We continue bush walking down to the shore of the bay where the boat West Patagonia awaits for us to take us to Bernal glacier (5 minutes).

We disembark in the coast of the Bernal glacier and hike through a particular trail with colorful moraines that cross a pro-glacier lake, allowing us to get close and safe enough to touch its ice. This permits us to watch and understand the glacier movements and how it changes the landscape through the years.

The contrast of colors between the vegetation, the ice, the mountains and the fjord in the background, makes any picture postcard worthy.

We take again our boat West Patagonia and navigate for 10 minutes till our floating refuge Ex- plorador to share a drink with millenary ice, to taste a delicious dinner and enjoy of unique lodging on the sea.

DAY 2 / Kiara & Alsina glaciers - Return to Puerto Natales.

After a rich breakfast, we will go navigating during one and a half hour through the Mountains fjord towards North to appreciate the beauty the glaciers Kiara and Alsina. These are the last main glaciers from the Sarmiento mountain range that flow down into the fjord. Different species can be watched during the boat ride.

Later we begin the return to Natales hiking the Alacalufes Path back to Resi fjord, same route we did to enter.

In Resi fjord we meet again our fast boat Explorador IV to navigate until Estancia Mercedes where we can stop a moment and meet the family and get to know their amazing history while sharing a mate by the heat of a chimney. We’ll have our lunch on the boat ride to the Estancia.

Later we continue the way to Puerto Natales, finishing this expedition around 15:00 pm. Weather permitting.
