We departure in the early morning in our vehicle from Puerto Natales to the Serrano area, located in Torres del Paine National Park (if you are already in the park, we will pick you up from an agreed location).

On the bank of the Serrano River we will initiate the instruction to ensure a safe and comfortable trip. We will load the kayaks with the necessary equipment and with your luggage. If you have too much (more than a big bag per person) we’ll take it to Puerto Natales where it will remain safe in our office until your arrival.

The adventure begins. We will paddle to the Serrano fall (a beautiful cascade), where a short walk (100 metres approximately) and portaging (carrying) the kayaks will allow us to avoid the waterfall. We will leave the Serrano River and we start to paddle upstream along the Tyndall River for 4km. Sometimes we will have to drag our kayaks on the water using a roped technique called tracking, due to the current and the depth of the river. Before paddling in the lake we stop for lunch. The beautiful Tyndall Lake will be the first reward for having paddled up this river. 

We will continue our adventure. If the wind permits, we will be able to paddle across the lake to a confortable sand beach. Your tiredness will be forgotten when this place fills you with satisfaction.

At the end of the day a delicious dinner with a magnificent view of the Tyndall Glacier, the virgin and unaltered Patagonia.

If we can not paddle on Lake Tyndall due to wather conditions we will look for a trekking alternative and continue exploring this beautiful place.

This campsite has no facilities (no bathroom). It´s wild camp.

A complete breakfast will give us the energy to start a strong paddling day. We will paddle trough the lake to the Tyndall glacier. We will arrive at the wall of a glacier that has more then 12.000 years old, where we can enjoy a breathtaking view to the lake.

After that we go back through the lake until we get to the Tyndall River. At this point we start paddling downstream along the river and we look for a spot to have lunch apreceating the beauty of the river.

We will arrive at Serrano River and paddle headed to our campsite in Puerto Toro. This will take us 3hrs approximately. Leaving behind Serrano River we will arrive in Ultima Esperanza fjord and find our campsite, close to the Serrano Glacier at Monte Balmaceda. In this beaultiful and peaceful landscape we will settle up our camp and prepare a delicious dinner to renovate our strengths and allow us to keep enjoying this adventure through the Patagonia wilderness.

If we can not paddle on Lake Tyndall due to wather conditions we will paddle directly to Puerto Toro through Serrano River.

Early in the morning right after our breakfast we will portage (carry) our kayaks about 30m to Serrano Lagoon (where the Glacier ends). We will paddle alongside with the blue icebergs that break off from the huge glacier and we will be back at midday to take a bigger boat that will take us back to Puerto Natales through Ultima Esperanza fjord. In it´s journey it has an amazing view to Balmaceda Glacier. We will stop at Estancia Perales to have a delicious and traditional roasted lamb. At 6pm we will arrive back to Puerto Natales.

Important: please bear in mind that from the beginning to the end of the kayak trip the itinerary may have to be modified owing, of course, to the famous Patagonian wind.

Sometimes the lagoon can be blocked with too many pieces of ice, if this is the case, it won’t be possible to pladdle in the lake.
