Overview
The Eberhard Fjord is a place with many stories and myths – located just 20 minutes from Puerto Natales in Puerto Prat and Puerto Consuelo. Kayaking in these waters is very quiet and protected from the harsh Patagonia elements. From the small village of Puerto Prat Village you begin kayaking in the direction to Estancia Puerto Consuelo. During the excursion, sit in awe as you watch a wide variety of birds such as black neck swans, coscorobas swans, taguas, ducks and flamingos. Along the return, take a short and easy 15 minute hike to enjoy a wonderful view of Torres del Paine, La Ballena, and other surrounding mountains and ranges. Once back to Puerto Prat, visit an original house of local settlers where together with your guide and group, share a hot coffee or tea, tasty homemade sopaipillas (typical fried Patagonian bread), homemade jams, fresh scrambled eggs, wonderful company and history of the region before returning to Puerto Natales.
