Embarking on a horseback riding journey to Cerro Dorotea from Puerto Natales offers a unique and memorable adventure through the stunning landscapes of Patagonia. Here’s what you can typically expect from this excursion:

The journey begins with a scenic ride out of Puerto Natales, passing through the picturesque countryside of Chilean Patagonia. As you leave the town behind, you’ll find yourself surrounded by vast expanses of pristine wilderness, with rugged mountains, expansive grasslands, and crystal-clear rivers stretching out before you.

Arriving at the base of Cerro Dorotea, you’ll meet your experienced guides and friendly horses, who will accompany you on the ascent to the summit. The horses are well-trained and accustomed to the terrain, ensuring a safe and enjoyable ride for riders of all experience levels.

As you make your way up the trail, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, with panoramic vistas of Puerto Natales, Ultima Esperanza Fjord, Gulf Montt, and the sprawling Patagonian steppe unfolding before you. Along the way, keep an eye out for local wildlife, including the majestic condor, which is known to nest in the cliffs of Cerro Dorotea.

Reaching the summit, you’ll have the chance to take a break and soak in the awe-inspiring scenery, with ample opportunities for photos and relaxation. Be sure to keep an eye out for the condors, which may soar overhead, offering a spectacular display of their aerial prowess.

After enjoying the views from the summit, you’ll begin the descent back down the mountain, following the same trail back to Puerto Natales. As you ride, you’ll have one last chance to savor the beauty of the Patagonian wilderness before returning to town.
