Patagonian Kayak Cruise

Sail the two largest lakes in Argentina, Viedma and Argentino, traveling along the La Leona River, through the immensity of the Patagonian steppe.

We begin our trip in Calafate at 7:30 a.m. and take route 40 towards the La Leona River. Upon reaching the source of the La Leona River we will prepare all the equipment and begin the first section of the river (40 km) to Cerro Los Hornos. We will stop to take a walk of approximately 3 hours where we will see fossil remains, petrified logs and native fauna of the Patagonian steppe. Once back in the kayaks we will change our clothes and continue paddling 10 more km to our camp. We prepare a bonfire and a delicious dinner with wine and dessert included.

The next day, when we finish our breakfast, we break camp and prepare for the second section of the river (36 km) until we reach Puente Biggieri, where, crossing some ranches, we will discover how the river flows until it empties into Lake Argen_no.
