4 to 6 days of adventure exploring the most remote corners of the Last Hope province, Usually known for Torres del Paine National Park, the small town of Puerto Natales and the province of Ultima Esperanza have much more to offer.
We start in town with a trip to Estancia La Peninsula, located at the shores of the Last Hope Fjord you get the chance to visit this incredible landscape in one of the last operating estancias of the Antonio Varas Peninsula. The evergreen forests and cliffs that fall to the fjord make this estancia one of the few places where tourists can experience the Patagonian fjords and the culture that forged a life in these places.
After time at La Peninsula, we will head back to the mainland and head north, towards a completely different place, Sierra Baguales or as we like to call them, the Patagonian Highlands. High above the sea, this treeless landscape has been used as our family summer pastures for decades. On our drive there we can drive through the Torres del Paine National Park being able to see all the highlights of this wonderful landmark, just to head up norht and escape the crowds in one of the most remote locations, Baguales Glamping where we will be sleeping in our luxury domes with central heating, hot water and fully functional toilets in the middle of the mountains.
We will thoroughly explore different areas by the chosen means, all of this adventures are in private with your guide and assisting staff, you will be exposed with the diferrent opportunities that you have according to the place, the weather and your own capabilities and wishes so in terms of activities it is a very flexible program when talking about included activities (hiking, & horseback riding).
