Detailed Itinerary

This trip is about reliving the experience of the old Kaweshkar Indians. This tribe of canoeists regularly navigated through the water of these fjords looking for food and shelter which always depended on climate changes and wind directions. They became experts in channel navigation, creating their own method of reading tides and creating overland paths that connect the channels through which they used to drag their boats by hand (now known as Pasos de Indios).

After breakfast, we will head out to start our expedition. We start with a journey by private transfer to the Montt Gulf, 40km from Puerto Natales at the West border of Ultima Esperanza. After a safety briefing and short instruction session, we will start by paddling out around the North face of Cerro Rotundo, reaching the entrance of the Obstruccion Sound where we begin to head south visiting the working water Estancias and other settlements that were abandoned after the early 1930's.

Within our first four days paddling and exploring the fjords, we will see kingfishers in their natural habitat and even hope to have playful dolphins accompanying us on our journey.

Covering a total of 110km we will reach temporary platforms to set up a logistic campsite to spend each night.

All meals included with wine while camping.
 
The following morning we will drag our kayaks into the first section of the 'Paso de Indio' to Muñoz Gamero lake and then on to the massive Skyring fjord.

This part of the journey usually takes around two days during which we will continue with the navigation until we reach the aguas calientes (hot springs). Here you will enjoy relaxing in these remote and untouched hot springs.

We should reach our final destination Estancia Skyring in three days. This is where our journey ends.

All meals included with wine while camping.
  
Arrive into Estancia Skyring where we will meet our transfer vehicle for the drive to Puerto Natales and a well deserved rest and farewell dinner in one of the town's many excellent restaurants.

All meals included (wine/drinks available at extra cost).
 
Transfer to Punta Arenas.

Breakfast only.
