Details
Enjoy a unique adventure with the Cerro Benítez Trek, just 25 km north of Puerto Natales, in the heart of Chilean Patagonia.
The journey begins at the Archaeological Park of Estancia Ernesto Helmer, where marine fossils reveal the area was once submerged under the sea. You’ll hike a medium-difficulty trail of 10 km (approx. 3 hours) through valleys, rock formations, and mountains, while spotting Andean condors nesting on the cliffs. From the summit of Cerro Benítez, admire breathtaking views of the Eberhard Fjord and the Señoret Channel.
The adventure continues through a forest to Dos Herraduras, where you’ll discover ancient rock paintings on the cliffs. After this unique experience, we’ll return to Puerto Natales filled with history, nature, and unforgettable landscapes.
