On a half-day outing, which combines trekking with rowing, you will enjoy all the excitement of a meandering river surrounded by peat bogs, where at every turn the landscape surprises you with its impressive snow-capped peaks and glaciers, the magical atmosphere of the Andes Mountains.
This activity is ideal for those visitors who want to surround themselves with all the nature that Tierra del Fuego offers, but for an outing that does not require much effort, a minimum of physical condition and a desire to enjoy is necessary!
We carry out a low-intensity trek until we reach our initial rowing point, the Butterfly Lagoon, where you will learn the most important aspects and the technique for rowing on the river.
We will let ourselves be carried away by the river enjoying the calm of the water, surrounded by the Andes mountain range with its snow-capped peaks!

What to expect

At the beginning of the activity, each person carries a backpack with the inflatable boat, which is light, compact and easy to transport, weighing a total of 6 kg.
The trekking is low intensity and lasts 40 minutes.
During the walk we crossed through forests and peat bogs, native species of Tierra del Fuego. We arrive at the Mariposa Lagoon where before entering the water we will inflate the boats, prepare ourselves and have an informative talk on safety and rowing technique.
The second part of the adventure begins, one hour rowing
down the river steering our boat letting ourselves go.
We rest on a small river beach where the Laguna Esmeralda stream connects with the Olivia River, where we will have lunch surrounded by nature.
In the second part of the route, we cross sections with native forest and bushes on the sides of the river, the landscape that surrounds us is beautiful and our mission is to take care of it, always bringing our waste and everything we see on the side of the river.
