E-BIKE PUERTO NATALES (3 DAYS)

In the morning, your guide and private transfer will pick you up taking you just outside of Puerto Natales to a private reserve not open to the public who frequent the Natural Monument Milodon Cave. Once at our starting point, we begin with a smooth, moderate ride bordering Cerro Queso (Cheese Hill) where we continue riding to a beautiful view of the Sofia Lagoon. On clear days we can see Paine Grande and other surrounding peaks set off among the far reaching fjords. Riding onward, we continue along a path closely bordering the Sofia Lagoon which connects us with Cueva de la Ventana (Window Cave). We continue through eaves and cave paintings left by the ancestors of the Ultima Esperanza until arriving at Dos Herraduras (two horseshoes). We’ll take time along our ride to stop and get up close to the history stored deep in these caves and trails.

Once we finish our ride, we’ll take a rest to enjoy a delicious, traditional Parrillada (BBQ) in a rustic quincho where we will enjoy delicious foods harvested locally from the region. After great food and good company, we’ll head back to Puerto Natales for a wonderful night’s rest.

In the morning, a private transfer will pick us up at 8:30AM, from our hotel or accommodation and take us a short distance to the Puerto Bories dock where a guide of the Estancia Bahia Esperanza Park will be waiting for us to start a navigation crossing the Señoret Channel to the park’s entrance located on the Antonio Varas Peninsula. The navigation offers privileged views of the Patagonian fjords with its diverse bird species who will make their presence along the way.

Upon our arrival and after a short welcome orientation about our trail and the park’s history, we’ll  begin our ride.

Our ride today allows us to explore Bahía Esperanza Outdoor Park by reliving the history through the beautiful Ultima Esperanza Monument – built to represent the bow of a 40 meter (36 ft.) long wooden boat that today stands on the fjords as the main viewpoint of the park. Riding along, we’ll have numerous opportunities to see the incredible wild nature and more than 30 species of birds who typically habitat the park. All the while along our ride, we’ll have countless views of the imposing mountains, such as the Cordon Montañoso Moore, Cerro Ballena, and Puerto Natales. We’ll find a nice point to stop and enjoy our box lunch to re-fuel while enjoying the natural wonders of the park.

By 16:00 hrs we’ll meet back at the dock to take the navigation back to Puerto Bories where our private transfer awaits to take us back to our hotel in Puerto Natales.

Early in the morning we depart from Puerto Natales in route to Torres del Paine to the dazzling Laguna Azul – an area abundant in birdlife (watch out for coots, swans, ducks and woodpeckers) and the lagoon offers a great view of the three Towers; mirrored in its blue waters on clear, still days.

Our trail today is entertaining for lovers of all-terrain bicycles who are in good physical condition. This moderate ride along mountainous dirt tracks has some small climbs and hills taking us through native lenga and ñirre woodlands where native birds and animals can be spotted in the wilderness. You will be surprised by the beautiful environment, with the three towers always in sight and the diverse animal life that we will be able to observe throughout the ride as we make our way to Laguna Cebolla (Onion Lagoon) where we will then turn back.

We’ll take time to enjoy our lunch with pristine views, and once we are back to Laguna Azul, we’ll take a private transfer back to Puerto Natales where our journey ends.
