Another early start and I was able to watch the sun rise over Puerto Bories.

Unfortunately the weather was pretty awful today – basically it poured down with rain all day. But despite that the boat set sail and if you stayed inside you kept dry. But this meant you couldn’t see anything so every now and then you had to brave the weather to see the sights.

We sailed down the Senoret Canal to the mouth of the Fjord Eberhard and then into Fjord Ultima Esperanza. You can see the mouth of the Fjord in the photo below. You can also see how rainy and cloudy it was.

After about another 30 minutes or so we walked past the Cormorant colony. These birds look a bit like penguins but they can fly. The boat stopped for a bit whilst we all took photos.

And then we carried on for another 30 minutes or so until we came to the Condor Cliff – but there were no condors to be seen as it was too wet and windy for them. But luckily there were some pretty impressive waterfalls instead.

After another while we saw Monte Balmsceda and the glacier on its eastern slope.

Eventually we docked at Puerto Toro where you could see the Serrano glacier.

We walked for around 20 minutes to get to the base of the glacier where we posed for photos and then walked back to the boat. The walk was through a lovely forest.

Everybody was soaking wet but it was worth it to see the amazing scenery. On the way back we stopped at a cattle ranch – Estancia Perales for a late lunch.

The food was amazing- barbecued lamb with red wine. Just what I needed.

Then it was back to the boat for the final leg back to the port – and just as we were coming in to dock the weather dried up.

All of this was part of the National Bernardo O’Higgins park which is part of the Andean mountain range.
