This amazing kayak expedition starts in Puerto Natales. Firstly, We’ll pick you up at your hotel on a private transportation. The drive to Serrano river’s shore is about 1.5 hrs. Serrano River is the limit of Torres del Paine National Park. After loading the kayaks, our guide will give you a briefing about safety and instructions for paddling efficiently. most importantly, details about the route, weather and river conditions.

Along with our guide, we will run down the Serrano River with amazing views of Paine massif till we get to the Serrano waterfall (1.5 hrs). therefore, there’s a portage of the Kayaks and we will haul the boats for about 100 m. We’ll keep paddling down River, to Serrano Glacier with amazing views of Tyndall Glacier and Geike Range along the way.

This Patagonia kayak expedition is a very unique experience mainly because this is a very remote area! Serrano River is surrounded by beautiful Coigue and Cypress Native forests. After a couple of hours, Balmaceda Mountain will delight us on the shores of Ultima Esperanza Fjord.

Finally, the amazing Serrano Glacier will welcome us with a spectacular view, in which the Spanish Sailor Juan Ladrilleros sought an outlet to the Atlantic in 1558. Pull out at the Balmaceda campsite and soak up the wild atmosphere of the magical spot as you and your guide prepare a great dinner together. Most importantly, we use the finest local ingredients to prepare a first-class camp dinner, washed down with a few Pisco Sours (with glacial ice-cubes) and plenty of Chilean wine.
