¡Excelente experiencia! Todo fue guiado y cuidado para que salga de la mejor manera.
El recorrido es espectacular, a través del Rio Santa Cruz, el cual no tiene dificultad para los que somos más que novatos.
Durante el recorrido, vas recibiendo indicaciones y explicaciones sobre la flora y fauna del lugar. Al finalizar, nos esperaron con un almuerzo super abundante. Todo fue lo esperado, o mejor!!
¡Muy recomendable!

This was an amazing experience in El Calafete. Reuben was a great guide for whom safety was paramount. The equipment was top notch and the dry suits kept us well insulated from the cold. You do need a moderate level of fitness as it is a river with some strong currents and you need to work hard at times to keep the boat straight but Reuben was always there to help us and guide us safely. I’d highly recommend doing this trip. The lunch afterwards was amazing - one of the best meals we have eaten in Argentina

I enjoyed the kayaking and the beautiful surroundings along the Rio Santa Cruz. A tasty barbecue lunch provided a pleasant ending to the experience. The trip was organized and carried out expertly by the guide Ruben Valle.
