It is the Balmaceda Mount at an altitude of 2.035 mts, one the areas of the Bernardo O higgins National Park and it s part of the Andes range. Once the coast is passed around , the ship gets closer to the sea wolves reserve in order to finally get the mount.
On it , the Balmaceda Glacier is situated which lets big ice blocks go into the water of the fiord and of Serrano Glacier , glacier positioned at north of Balmaceda s , a small lagoon formed by meltwater is the only accessible overland pass. The return trip starts around 14:30 hrs.
