Join us to explore the renowned Santa Cruz River, a significant waterway in Patagonia famously navigated by Charles Darwin.

Journeying along the iconic Route 40, we will set off in a 4x4 vehicle towards the river. We will embark on this adventure in kayaks, guided by a certified expert, allowing us to marvel at the stunning geological formations and observe a diverse array of wildlife as we paddle along.

After a 15 km paddling experience, the excursion will conclude with a delicious lunch on the riverbank.

Reviews

Ich war mit Best South America Tours auf einer EXCURSION in El Calafate (Argentinien) unterwegs – einfach mega! Gletscher, türkisfarbene Seen und ein super entspannter Guide, der alles easy und trotzdem fundiert erklärt hat. Organisation top, pünktlich, kleine Gruppe, genug Stopps für Fotos und Mate. Preis-Leistung passt. Wenn du Patagonien fühlen willst: buch das! Ich würde sofort wieder mit denen losziehen. War echt ein Highlight.
