Day
03 Puerto Natales
Breakfast. Departure at 8:30am for a water excursion
to the Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers. Ahead of us now
we have the majestic Mt. Balmaceda and the glacier leading
off its eastern slopes. The mountain is 2,035 meters
high and only a few climbers are known to have ascended
it. The glacier is retreating as are practically all
glaciers on the planet; as an indication of its shrinkage
rate, it is interesting to note that 15 years ago the
foot of the glacier was at sea-level. After four hours
of sailing we dock at Puerto Toro, from where you can
walk the last kilometer to the base of the Serrano Glacier.
The walk takes you through a wonderful native forest
along the shore of the lake. Both Balmaceda and Serrano
Glaciers are in the Mt. Balmaceda National Park. Back
