Ride, hike, and paddle your way through Patagonia

Itinerary

Your journey begins at 9:30 AM with a short transfer from El Chaltén to Estancia Bonanza. Once there, you’ll gear up and begin a two-hour horseback ride through the Vizcacha canyon and across grasslands with amazing views of Mount Fitz Roy. The trail winds into a native lenga and ñire forest, arriving at the peaceful Laguna Lita.

While lunch is being prepared, a brief hike leads to a viewpoint overlooking Laguna Cóndor. After enjoying a traditional camp-style meal, the adventure continues with a short walk to the river where the kayaks are waiting.

You’ll receive your gear—including dry bags, neoprene suit, and safety equipment—and a safety talk before setting off on a 12 km paddle down the Río de las Vueltas. This section of the river is shallow, meandering, and surrounded by pristine Patagonian forest. The kayaking lasts around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on river and wind conditions.

After the paddle, you’ll return to Estancia Bonanza to change into dry clothes and be driven back to the base in El Chaltén, arriving around 6:00 PM.
