Top 1 water & beach things to do in El Chaltén

1. Kayaking the Rio de las Vueltas in El Chaltén

Half-day guided kayak tour on the Rio de las Vueltas with views of Mount Fitz Roy and Andean forests, including a country brunch amidst nature.

“After a slightly late arrival at the 'Dome', our group was treated with exceptional attention to detail. We were fitted with the right gear, offered coffee and tea, and instructed on where to keep our belongings dry. Following a drive to the river, we received further guidance on basic kayaking techniques. Our guides, Lolito and Tomas, accompanied us on the water the entire time. Despite the light snow, we enjoyed a wonderful time on the river. At 'Bonanza' ranch, we indulged in more coffee and pastries by the fire before heading to a restaurant for lunch. The rustic atmosphere and the authentic Asador preparing our meals made this experience truly memorable. The complimentary glass of wine and the exceptional quality and flavor of the food elevated lunch to a fine dining occasion. We were returned to our starting point promptly. By the end of the night, the river photos taken by our guides were sent to me. I extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire team for their attentive care throughout the day. Highly recommended.”— Robert_S
