Packrafting
Río de las Vueltas

Into the valley on foot.
Back through Patagonia by river.

01 — THE EXPERIENCE

The quieter side
of El Chaltén.

A private half-day journey combining an interpretative walk with packraft navigation along the Río de las Vueltas.

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.
