"PN Bernardo O’Higgins – native forest" Top 5 Page for this destination Puerto Natales Things to Do Tip by vtveen

Perhaps the most impressive and at least most amazing and remarkable part of our trip to the glaciers in Parque Nacional Bernardo O’Higgins was our walk from the pier at Puerto Toro (after 3 ½ hours sailing) to the viewing point for the Serrano Glacier trough a fantastic part of native forest.

Amazing, because it is almost unbelievable that these kinds of flowers and bushes are able to survive in environs with snow and ice all around. Remarkable, because we were walking on a narrow and winding walkway with ice and icebergs on one side and a green dense native forest on the other side.
We saw some familiar flowers (like the fuchsia) and a lot of beautiful and completely unknown species.

This part of the National Park can only be reached by the boat trip of Turismo 21 de Mayo.
