On this excursion you will be able to appreciate the characteristics of the Patagonian channels, such as fjords and snowdrifts that make up the Southern Ice Fields. You will set sail from the Puerto Natales dock, heading for the White or Kirke Pass, to enter the Kaweskar National Park where the exploration begins. Then you will sail through the Santa Maria channel in front of the imposing cliffs of the Riesco Mountain range. The Fjord of the Mountains has a particular charm, since it has many glaciers. This fjord is part of a virgin landscape, located approximately 60 km northeast of Puerto Natales, in the middle of channels and practically unexplored nature. Its surroundings are home to extensive native vegetation and fauna, as well as five attractive glaciers that come from the Sarmiento Mountain Range. These are: Bernal, Herman, Encina, Paredes and Alsina. Access to these pristine places is only by sea, which makes this a unique experience when visiting the fjords of the Province of Ultima Esperanza.
