Rafting is an activity that mixes adventure, emotion and adrenaline. The Rio de las Vueltas offers an ideal setting for this activity.
In its first section, the calm waters of the river allow us to connect with nature and contemplate the beauty of the landscape framed by the imposing Cerro Fitz Roy and its satellite needles, in addition to eventually being able to see local fauna and birds. After having covered approximately 5 kms we cross the first rapid, which the guides call "Portage", after that first rapid begins a succession of rapids of approximately 10 kms, which will cause a lot of adrenaline, fun and will give you the right dose of adventure to an experience that will awaken all your senses and will make you experience Patagonia from a completely different perspective.

I'd really recommend this activity. A great break from hiking. Loli was a great guide, good fun and went through all the safety and instructions with humour. I was the only person on the trip without Spanish and he always ensured he translated everything for me, not just the instructions. He explained the scenery and landscape. The trip was well organised, a bus met us at the end and drove us back with coffee and snacks! A brilliant way to spend an afternoon!!

Worth it! Only 19,000 pesos (/375 for dollars). When 5 others canceled in the morning, they took me kayaking instead, even though it was just me. Thus I had 2 great guides, Ramiro and Lorry (plus the van driver Florence and their 2 kids). They didn’t make much money with just one paid client but they wanted me to experience the beauty and natural wonderland of the river Vuelta, with constantly changing views of Fitzroy and Poincelot. I felt safe at all times with Lorry taking great care to have me follow him around the trees and sandbars. I’m here for 6 weeks and this was the most fun thing I did. Highly recommended
