The trip begins in Puerto Natales sailing through the Ultima Esperanza Fiord. Its name is owed for being the “Last hope” to find the Strait of Magellan in 1557, for a expedition that came from the Pacific Ocean. On the way can be seen the building that belonged to “Frigorifico Bories”, one of the largest meat packing plants in Patagonia, a little colony of cormorants and a little colony of sea lions. The flora is dominated by different species of beech trees, calafate, Chilco and Canelo among others. The Balmaceda glacier can be seen from the boat, instead to visit the Serrano glacier is necessary to walk for 20 minutes on a path bordering a calving lake originated by the melting of the glacier. After this walk we will have lunch in Hosteria Monte Balmaceda and later we take the zodiacs to start the trip up river. This part of the excursion takes about three hours and can be seen some unknown and untouched areas located around Torres del Paine National Park like Geike and Tyndall glaciers. Upon arrival we will enjoy the natural beauties and the abundant fauna of this place

Photo opportunities abound while riding on the incredible Estancia Laguna Amarga, on the border of Torres del Paine National Park. Enjoy an up-close view of the Chilean Flamingo that inhabits Bitter Lagoon and the Andean Condor, as you marvel at the views of the Towers. The ride starts out by reaching a lookout point high above the estancia, from which you can gaze down at the snaking rivers, topaz lakes and awe inspiring peaks of the Torres del Paine.
For those not interested in mountainside riding, you may venture around Laguna Amarga (Bitter Lagoon), which is the only saltwater lake in the region. The salt that accumulates along the black sand beaches of the lake, gives the surreal impression of snow in summer. You will return to the estancia house by way of a small lookout, standing adjacent to the Towers.

Public bus, which departs from Pto. Natales at 07:30 am., returning from Laguna Amarga at 14:00 and 21:00.

Discover the beauty and immensity of Torres del Paine, without fighting the crowds, on this adventurous, full day horse ride. Enjoy privileged views of the Park, as you visit a private, high mountain lake, and ancient cave paintings. Ride among guanacos, Ñandu, condor and other flora and fauna that make the estancia their home. Learn about the natural and anthropological history of the area as you follow the trail of the first pioneers, through Patagonia.
You do not need to be an experienced horseperson to enjoy this ride, though if capable, you may delight in a gallop across grassy meadows.
