Highlights
  • Las Vueltas river - The experience begins at the Comarka Rafting & Kayak operational base located at Av. San Martin 872, El Chalten, where the guides will receive the passengers and provide them with the equipment (technical and safety) and a talk about its use.

Once the equipment has been delivered and the group has changed, they travel 21 km along RP 41 on the way to Lago del Desierto. Once we arrive at the starting point of the activity (Mirador Laguna Condor), the group will get out of the vehicle to finish putting on their clothing (jacket, vest and helmet) and after the technical and safety talk they will start the activity from the right bank of Laguna Condor.

This section of the river is characterized by being shallow and meandering.
We will travel about 12km, which will take one hour and
to two hours (depending on the river flow and wind conditions) until we reach our disembarkation point, Estancia Bonanza. Once there, the group can get dressed and then enjoy a delicious lunch at Estancia Bonanza. After lunch, the transfer will take you back to El Chalten at approximately 3:00 p.m.

Beautiful Kayak & Lunch - After meeting at the 'Dome' a little late, our party was cared for with the utmost attention to detail. We were sized with proper equipment, offered coffee/tea, directed on where to keep our clothes dry. Drove to the river, further instruction on basic kayak maneuvers. Our guides 'Lolito' and Tomas were with us on the water throughout the route. Even though it was lightly snowing, we had a fantastic experience on the water! At 'Bonanza' ranch, more coffee & pastries were had as we warmed by the fire, then drove to the restaurant for lunch. The rustic charm of the restaurant and authentic Asador preparing our meal, made it a totally worthwhile experience on it's own. Complimentary glass of wine, the detail and great taste of the food, made this lunch a truly 'fine dining' event!! Lastly, we were driven back to our start point, on time. By nights end, the river photos taken by our guides were sent to me as well. Sincere thanks to each of the team that catered & coddled us throughout. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Roberto, Melissa and Izabel
