Encantado Valley Lake Kayaking

8 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

This kayaking experience offers a rare combination of adventure, accessibility, and immersion in Patagonian nature. Unlike more intense white-water excursions, this is a gentle, beginner-friendly paddle along one of the region’s most scenic and tranquil rivers — the Limay — making it ideal for travelers of all experience levels.

What truly sets it apart is the route: you'll float through the enchanted landscapes of Valle Encantado, surrounded by surreal rock formations sculpted by time and the elements, such as “God’s Finger” and “The Loving Lions.” Few activities offer this level of intimacy with Patagonia’s geology and natural beauty in such a peaceful setting.

Add to that the local touches — like photo stops at iconic landmarks, and a regional tasting experience at the end — and you have a tour that blends nature, culture, and comfort in a way that’s both authentic and unforgettable.
