The Darwin Experience
Experience a historic kayaking adventure tracing Charles Darwin's route through Patagonia's stunning landscapes!

Upon arrival, you'll unload the kayaks and participate in warm-up exercises while guides explain the kayaking process. Once ready, you'll paddle for 80 minutes down the Santa Cruz River, covering 9 miles and taking in the stunning yet little-explored Patagonian steppe.
