Darwin Experience, Kayak and Adventure

Imagine being able to navigate the waters that Darwin sailed? The Santa Cruz River tells an incredible story, and people from all over the world come to visit the places where Darwin left an indelible mark, not to mention the primitive landscapes of unparalleled beauty. Are you ready to join us?

We’ll pick up our adventurers from their respective hotels (Please check if your accommodation is among those regulated so we can pick you up), and then we’ll set off in 4X4 vehicles towards the iconic Route 40 until we reach the Santa Cruz River. Along the way, we’ll listen to some curious stories, warming up for what awaits us.

Upon arriving at our base, we’ll gather for a lovely informative/technical chat, then we’ll equip ourselves with dry suits and hop into our kayaks to embark on a beautiful adventure through the places that Darwin explored around 1830.

The landscape is stunning, and along the way, we’ll encounter geological formations and a wide variety of wildlife that inspired Darwin almost two centuries ago.

After 15 km downstream, paddling and enjoying this entire experience, we’ll arrive at the Patagonian Estancia “El Rincón,” where we’ll indulge in a delicious lunch, with dessert and drinks included, by the banks of the Santa Cruz River. Here, we’ll let our imaginations soar, as we all traverse the same river, in the same place where Darwin once journeyed.

Finally, with the certainty that we’ve had one of the most incredible experiences of our lives, we’ll return to the city of El Calafate.

Observations:
If an adventurer has a companion who isn’t keen on kayaking, the companion can travel by 4X4 to the Estancia to join for lunch and enjoy the moment together by paying 50% of the full price.

In the city of El Calafate, companies can only pick up clients from hotels/hostels regulated by the tourism department.

In case of strong winds, the excursion may be canceled.

Children under 16 years old are not allowed to kayak.

The lunch includes appetizers, main course, dessert, and drinks. Options may include Focaccia with eggplant dips, Provoleta with tomato, salads, Argentine beef, chocolate mousse, and beverages.
