Highlights
Enjoy the southernmost rafting in Patagonia Argentina. An activity that mixes adventure, emotion and adrenaline. The Rio de las Vueltas offers an ideal setting for this activity. In its first section, the calm waters of the river allow us to connect with nature and contemplate the beauty of the landscape framed by the imposing Cerro Fitz Roy and its satellite needles, in addition to eventually being able to see local fauna and birds. After having covered approximately 5 kms we cross the first rapid, which the guides call "Portage", after that first rapid begins a succession of rapids of approximately 10 kms, which will cause a lot of adrenaline, fun and will give you the right dose of adventure to an experience that will awaken all your senses and will make you experience Patagonia from a completely different perspective.

About El Chaltén
El Chaltén is a small trekking village in Argentine Patagonia, set below the granite spires of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre in Los Glaciares National Park.
El Chaltén was founded in 1985, partly to mark Argentina's claim on a disputed border, and has since become the country's national trekking capital. A grid of low timber buildings, guesthouses, bakeries and gear shops sits in the valley of the Río de las Vueltas, with the granite peak of Fitz Roy, 3,405 metres high, rising behind it. The village lies inside Los Glaciares National Park, a World Heritage site.
