Balmaceda Glaciar

Located on the western slope of Mount Balmaceda, the glacier offers varied charms to visitors to the Bernardo O'higgins National Park. Hanging glacier of 2035 m., the Balmaceda is a spectacle when its white icebergs slide along the east side of the mountain. Although its activity is declining, it offers an incredible panorama and the activities that can be done by visitors are multiple.
