Description

Get up close to nature in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Los Glaciares National Park cruise in the shadows of Mt. Fitz Roy, navigate some hair-raising Class III rapids, and absorb Patagonia’s spectacular natural wonders the intrepid way.

The El Chalten Full Day Rafting Tour adventure begins with a comfortable and convenient hotel pick-up service from El Calafate; thereupon you will be transferred to the serene mountain village of El Chalten located in the foothills of the Andes. Here, your expert guides will welcome you at the operational base before conducting a safety briefing, which will include some insider observations of both the surrounding landscapes and the area’s native flora and fauna.

After making your way to the river’s shore, the guides will offer some final words of wisdom, and you will head out on some calm waters ideal for practising your paddling techniques and learning how to manoeuvre running rapids. The course is full of exhilarating twists and turns, starting first on the Rio de las Vueltas and then leading into the conjoining Rio Fitz Roy, covering a route that is divided into three sections that each offer different experiences.

The tranquil 4km opening segment will give you some time to soak in the extraordinary views of Mt. Fitz Roy’s dramatic spires that sit silhouetted against the sky. From here, your fun becomes more turbulent as you move on to the more challenging second section a thrilling 8km stretch of exciting Class III rapids that will be sure to test your new rafting skills. The finale is a gentle 2km coast down the meandering river which presents the perfect opportunity to peacefully contemplate the breathtaking natural wonders around you. Once you have returned to dry land, you can relax and enjoy your complimentary lunch, after which you will be taken back to El Calafate where you will arrive around 7.30pm.
