Day 1

At 10:00 in the morning, we meet at Torres del Paine National Park Administration, where we take a short transfer to the home of the Astorga Family, baqueano pioneers of the Serrano area.
During the horseback ride, we will observe a wide variety of local birds and admire the scenic postcard-perfect views of the Paine Massif. We wade through Rivers Otter and Brush, which threaten to get our feet wet, with their depth in the summer.
We also have the opportunity to visit the lookout point of the Tyndall Glacier and Southern Patagonian Ice Field. This is an excellent place to understand the geographic importance of Estancia Anita, because it has the best access to Gueikie Lake and Glacier.
The estancia belongs the Guerrero Family, owners of this unique Chilean land located between two national parks: Bernardo O'Higgins and Torres del Paine. Once we reach the estancia, we leave the horses and cross the river in a semi-rigid boat to the opposite bank, where we spend our first night. Accommodation is in simple huts with an outdoor bathroom, no showers.

 

Day 2

Early in the morning, the horses will be ready and waiting for us to ride to Lake Gueikie. Because of its geographic isolation, the Gueikie Glacier is still a real secret to many, not to mention being one of the most beautiful in the region. We will visit the three most impressive lookout points, with plenty of time to take memorable photos.
At Lake Gueikie, we will seek out the perfect lunch spot on the beach, beside huge icebergs. After lunch we can ride beside the icebergs, snapping some of the most excellent, unique photos of Patagonia. This is undoubtedly one of the best excursions in the region, due to the impressive glacial landscape and the feeling that we are the only humans in this isolated corner of Torres del Paine National Park.
When we return to the estancia along the Serrano River, we will enjoy an excellent asado dinner (barbecue beef, typical of the region) with the Guerrero Family. Accommodation is in simple huts with an outdoor bathroom, no showers.

 

Day 3

In the morning after a good breakfast we continue sailing down the Serrano River. We stop at Hostería Monte Balmaceda for a hot drink, and then we continue to the Serrano Glacier, gateway to Bernardo O'Higgins National Parks, one of the biggest parks in Chile. Here we walk to the viewpoint of the Serrano Glacier, where we hopefully observe ice blocks calving and splashing into the lagoon below.
We return to the port by 13:15 hours, where we board the 21 de Mayo boat and begin to navigate through the Última Esperanza Fjord en route to Puerto Natales. During this voyage we will observe the Balmaceda Glacier, which pours into the sea from the summit of Mount Balmaceda.
In the middle of the fjord we stop for 1.5 hours for a Patagonian lamb barbecue at Estancia Perales. We then continue sailing through the fjord, arriving to Puerto Natales around 16:00 hrs. You will then be transferred to your hotel.
