Navigation from Torres del Paine to Puerto Natales

We meet in the Serrano River Sector, where we pass out waterproof jackets and life vests. Then we start our navigation descending the Serrano River heading toward Glacier Serrano in semi-rigid boats. During the journey, we will make a short stop at Salto Serrano (a geologic depression that makes for strong water rapids). This obliges us to leave the boat and take a short walk of five minutes, where we pass the rapid and board another boat to continue with our trip.
During the voyage, we enjoy the flora and fauna along the river with continuous views of the Paine Massif and Glacier Tyndall. We eventually arrive to Glacier Serrano, known as the gateway to Bernardo O'Higgins National Park, which is one of the biggest parks in Chile. Here we walk to the viewpoint of Glacier Serrano. If we are lucky, we’ll be able to contemplate the blocks of ice calving and splashing into the lagoon below.
Back at the dock, we board the boat 21 de Mayo to head back to Puerto Natales. On the way back, we stop at Estancia Perales for lunch and enjoy a Patagonian lamb barbecue. We then continue sailing through the fjord, arriving to Puerto Natales around 18:00 hours. Transfer from the Puerto Bories to Puerto Natales Center.
