ESTANCIAS & GLACIERS

We begin with a short transfer to Puerto Bories, where we will board the 21 de Mayo navigation along the Última Esperanza Fjord. Along the way, we will come face to face with the dramatic descent of the Serrano Glacier at the foot of Mount Balmaceda (2.148 m / 7.047 ft).

Here, we will prepare the horses and set off on a peaceful 4-hour ride, walking and trotting through lush, humid forests and enjoying the breathtaking views of the surrounding valley. Our journey will take us to Lake Brush, a remote and stunning inland retreat where we will spend the night.

The second day begins with a hearty breakfast, setting the stage for another great adventure. Back in the saddle, you’ll ride through forests of lenga, ñirre, and coigüe trees, making your way into the renowned Torres del Paine National Park.

As the journey unfolds, the terrain becomes more inviting, offering exciting opportunities for invigorating gallops across the open pampas. Along the way, you’ll encounter stream crossings and winding paths, while the majestic silhouette of the Torres del Paine massif gradually emerges, providing a truly breathtaking view.

Upon arrival at our Riverside Camp, you’ll be greeted by a sense of tranquility, a warm welcome, and a relaxing evening complete with a revitalizing dinner.

We’ll start the day with a delicious breakfast at the Riverside Lodge restaurant of Chile Nativo before our transfer takes us to the starting point of our journey.

A vast stretch of pampas marks the beginning of our ride toward Grey Glacier, offering plenty of opportunities for galloping as much as we like. Upon reaching the Grey River, we’ll follow a narrow trail leading to the Grey Lake viewpoint, where we will stop for lunch.

We’ll return along the same trail and recharge with an afternoon gallop across the pampas before arriving back at the Chile Nativo Riverside Camp.

After breakfast, a transfer will take us to the starting point of our horseback ride. We will mount our horses and set off through Torres del Paine National Park.

Throughout the journey, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the mighty Paine River and the vast Lake Toro, the largest lake in the province. This ride is an exciting adventure, requiring both technical skill and physical endurance.

We’ll navigate a mountainous area where the trail becomes steep and technical, adjusting our pace as the terrain evens out at higher elevations. Passing by several small lagoons, we will eventually arrive at Laguna Verde, located in Estancia Lazo. Here, we will settle in for the night and share a traditional Chilean dinner prepared by our on-site chef.

After breakfast, we will mount our horses and set off toward Estancia Tercera Barranca, a working cattle ranch located right on the edge of the park. Today’s ride is moderate, and we will gallop through magnificent views of the park, facing the iconic three towers along the way.

Once we arrive at the estancia, we will indulge in a traditional Patagonian lamb barbecue, savoring the flavors of the region. Afterwards, we’ll take some time to rest, ensuring we are fully rejuvenated for our final day of horseback riding.

Our private transfer will take us back to Puerto Natales, where we will drop you off at your hotel and say our goodbyes. Safe travels back home!
