01 — THE EXPERIENCE
The quieter side

The route moves away from El Chaltén’s most travelled trails and enters a more intimate landscape of forest, river and open valley.
Packrafts are lightweight, stable river craft. Dry suits and specialist equipment are provided so the experience can be enjoyed comfortably in Patagonian conditions.
02 — THE ROUTE
Walk in.
Paddle out.
Private transfer from your accommodation towards Laguna Cóndor, followed by an interpretative walk. After the safety briefing, the journey continues by packraft for approximately seven kilometres along the Río de las Vueltas.
