If you want to experience a different kayaking experience, we invite you to discover the Rio de las Vueltas. This activity offers you the opportunity to connect with nature from the water, away from the busiest trails. Explore the views of Mount Fitz Roy, the Rio de las Vueltas valley and the Andean forest from a unique perspective.
Once equipped with the technical equipment (wetsuit, boots, vest, helmet and paddle), a vehicle will take us 21 km along the RP 41 to the viewpoint of Laguna Condor. After a safety talk given by the guides, we will begin the descent along the Rio de las Vueltas. During the tour, we will observe the native fauna as we contemplate the scenic beauty of Mount Fitz Roy and its surrounding peaks, and enjoy a country brunch surrounded by nature.
