At the end of Pitt Channel, after Chatham Island, we find on the port side the entrance to Seno or Fiordo Guillard. A small entrance between mountains flanks its entrance, and slowly the Mn Skorpios III begins to navigate this wonderful fjord, 10 nautical miles in distance until where we will anchor. Its beauty impresses as we are surrounded by huge mountains of intense green, crowned at the high peaks by eternal ice and snow.
Once anchored in this place, a beautiful and imposing Glacier, Guillard, appears before us, descending from the Andes mountain range to deposit its ice in a huge glacial moraine. Here Skorpios has a floating dock and walkway, duly authorized by the Chilean National Parks authority “CONAF”, to be able to disembark and carry out excursions on land, where we can be amazed how vegetation, once the ice is removed, begins to colonize this place.
A clearly marked trail will lead us to a lagoon where we can appreciate this mass of ice burying its front in the Frontal moraine.
This fjord is in a mountain to sea position, from East to West, protecting us from the intense winds of Patagonia. Glacier Guillard, a sanctuary of Patagonian beauty in Bernardo O’Higgins National Park. A unique and pristine place.
