Description
The robust 8 x 8-wheel drive truck makes its way through the streets of Puerto Natales until it reaches the track where it starts its climb up the steep-side Dorotea mountain.
Upon arrival to the viewpoint the passengers will disembark to enjoy a short walk to see local flora and maybe some fossils. The fossils are evidence that the entire area was, at one time in history, submerged under sea water.
From the high 600m altitude the view is impressive taking in the village of Puerto Natales in its entirety as well as the channels and fiords. Also, in the far distance it is possible to see some of the Serrano and Balmaceda glaciers at the end of the fiord of last hope.
The guide will talk about the history behind Puerto Natales, its geology, how the hills and mountains were formed as well as show some of the marine fossils from the area.
