Fitz Roy Rafting

Itinerary

The experience begins at the Fitz Roy Rafting operational base located in El Chaltén (475 Lago del Desierto Avenue). The guides deliver the technical and safety equipment necessary to carry out the activity, and you walk together 50 meters to the boarding area. On the banks of the De las Vueltas River, they give a technical and safety talk which covers instructions on how to hold the paddles, how to go forward, turn, go back, so that the whole team rows in sync. Water is calm in the first section of the river, with meanders that allow beautiful views of Mount Fitz Roy and the peaks from the near mounts. Enjoy about 6 km of crossing areas of Andean Forest and going towards the steppe. It is common to see birds (condors, upland goose, buff-necked ibis, among many others) and native fauna (foxes, armadillos, and guanacos). In this part of the journey, you can contemplate the landscape and practice rowing and safety techniques. The second part of the journey is 10 km long and the river is encased in a natural canyon, generating about 20 rapids from class III to III +. It is approximately a two-hour navigation journey through the De las Vueltas River, including time to contemplate and enjoy a good dose of action and adrenaline. When you disembark, a comforting snack (hot drink and something tasty to eat) is offered. A vehicle awaits on the Provincial Route 23 bridge to return to the operating base.
