Última Esperanza Sound, Glacial inlet in Magallanes Region, Chile
The inlet extends from Eberhard Fjord to Monte Balmaceda, receiving waters from Torres del Paine National Park through the Serrano River.
Navigator Juan Ladrillero discovered and named this inlet in 1557 during his expedition to locate the western entrance of the Strait of Magellan.
Local communities organize traditional lamb roasts at Estancia Perales, introducing visitors to Patagonian gastronomy and customs during ferry journeys.
Ferry services operate from Puerto Natales, connecting travelers to multiple protected areas while offering opportunities for kayaking and glacier observation.
The glaciers in this inlet reached their maximum extent approximately 48,000 years ago, carving the current valley formation.
