The Fjords Trail

We invite you to leave Torres Del Paine in a new and different way; a 2 day horse ride that takes us from Torres Del Paine to Bernardo O'Higgins along a relatively unused trail, through woods, via lakes, rivers and glaciers finishing with a boat trip down the famous Sound of Last Hope.

A real experience when thinking in horse holidays in patagonia.

Itinerary / Highlights

Day 1 We meet at noon in the park administration; from here we'll take a private transfer, crossing the Serrano River and arriving to Aniceto Astorga's farmhouse. There we'll choose our horses to begin a ride to an unexplored valley at the border of Torres Del Paine national park. We cross several rivers and go through a landscape filled with lakes and wetlands, constantly being surprised by the changing views of the Paine massif and the last glaciers of the Southern Ice Field. We'll spend the night here after setting up camp on the shores of Lake Brush.
(10 minutes transfer, 4 hours walking and trotting) (BL-BBQ) (Night at Lake Brush Campsite)

Day 2 After a hearty breakfast we continue to Bernardo O´Higgins national park. This trail takes us through humid forests, similar to those of the austral canals, following the Serrano River until it empties into the Sound of Last Hope, where we spend the night in the Hostería Balmaceda with an amazing view of the Serrano glacier.
(5 hours, walking) (B-BL-D) (Night at Hostería Balmaceda)

Day 3 We'll begin the day by crossing the river into the Seno de Ultima Esperanza, facing the imposing Serrano glacier at the foot of the Balmaceda Mountain (2148m). Here we make a short easy walk up to the glacier. We'll then take a boat, “the cutter, 21 de Mayo” navigating via glaciers and canals on our way down to Puerto Natales.
(45 min walk, 3 hours by boat) (B-BBQ)
