Overview

The journey begins at the Puerto Bories pier, located 15 minutes from the center of Puerto Natales. Once the navigation starts, it’s possible to see the buildings belonging to the Bories cold storage plant, which was one of the largest meat processing industries in Patagonia. You can also observe a colony of Imperial Cormorants, a small colony of Sea Lions, and a variety of plants that make up the flora, such as Coigüe, Canelo, Lenga, Ñire, Chilco, and Calafate, among others. The Balmaceda glacier can be seen from the ship; however, to visit the Serrano glacier, it’s necessary to take a 20-minute walk along a trail that skirts a small lake formed by the melting of said glacier. On the return journey, there is a stop at Estancia Perales, where you will enjoy a tasty and abundant regional lunch.
