After two hours navigation from Natales Port, under normal conditions,
we will reach “Cormoranes” Colony, having hundreds
of these birds, resembling penguins. As we get nearer the Fiord,
the landscape becomes wilder and more attractive, for its vigorous
mountains.

Now we have majestic Balmaceda Mount before us, as well as the
glacier bearing the same name, being detached from the eastern
side. This mount is 2035 m high and there are very few antecedents
of its having been climbed up to its main peak. The above mentioned
glacier is in recession as nearly all glaciers in the planet.
After sailing for 4 hours, we will come alongside Puerto Toro
pier; walking about 1000 m. you can get to the glacier on foot.
Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers belong to Balmaceda Mount National
Park. You can see the mountains of Paine from the ship. Return
to Puerto Natales and end of navigation.
