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.
