About this activity

A 5-day immersive adventure through Chilean Patagonia combining glacier trekking, wildlife encounters, and dramatic mountain scenery. This curated journey includes Milodon Cave, Torres del Paine National Park, Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers, and Magdalena Island's penguin colonies—with airport transfers and expert guidance included.

5 days 4 nights experience in the Chilean Patagonia. We will be waiting for you at the Punta Arenas airport and we will help you with the transfer from the bus terminal to the city of Puerto Natales. It is recommended to arrive in Punta Arenas at 18:00hrs as the last bus leaves at 19.00hrs for Puerto Natales. 

A guide will be waiting for you at the bus terminal in Puerto Natales to help you with the transfer to your hotel in the city. 

During the second day we will pick you up from the hotel in the morning to go to a famous cave called Milodon. There you will be able to take pictures and prepare for the next stop, Torres del Paine National Park. At this place we will take a walk and visit several viewpoints. We will go for lunch and afterwards you will be able to enjoy some free time in Patagonia. In the afternoon we will return to the hotel in the city of Puerto Natales.

On the third day we will visit the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers and sail through Patagonia and have a Patagonian lunch. During the afternoon we will take you to the hotel to pick up your luggage and take you to the bus terminal to Punta Arenas. You will be waiting at the place to take it to the hotel in the city.

On the fourth day we will leave the hotel early to go to the port and where we will leave for Magdalena Island, a place that has many penguins and where you can take pictures and be very close to them. We will sail for about 1 hour through the Strait of Magellan.

The last day will be the transfer from the hotel to the airport in Punta Arenas.
