Rio de las Vueltas Rafting Experience - El Chalten
Description
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.

It was great! Lolli was great guide and ensured we had fun, stayed (relatively) warm, and were safe. Highly, highly, recommend.
This was a very fun couple of hours. A different way to get some beautiful views of the range. The rapids were much more wild than I was expecting. Everyone in the boat got soaked. We didn’t have any close calls with falling in, but I could imagine with a little more rain, it could happen. This was a nice way to break up all the hiking, kicking in a little more adrenaline. I will definitely do this again when I return to Chalten. If you search Murphy Experiences on YouTube, you can see my full video from the experience.
Hi Murphy !! we are following you at your yt channel ;)....thank you for sharing the river with us !!
It was an interesting experience, rafting on a glacier river. Exciting, informative & fun! We thought it will be cold but we didnt feel it at all. Raft captains& assistant Tommy were funny & professional. They made sure that we are well briefed on the safety procedure. Overall the whole experience exceeded our expectations and we are happy that we signed up with Comarka for this activity
Excellent rafting experience!! 100% recommended!! It is a sight all the way, incredible landscapes both seen and the canyons where it circulates. And separate paragraph for the guide that is a crack and a lot of fun the whole trip, but when you have to get serious, the best!!
As a couple, we are not new to white-water rafting, but we can honestly say this was the best experience so far. Our lead guide, Lloyd (aka Papacito);), and his incredible team made it a truly top-class adventure, safe, interactive and great fun. People came from different parts of the world, but thanks to the organisers we felt like a dream team from the very first moment. Outstanding rafting, an amazing crew and stunning natural scenery. Thank you. With love from Wales.
Very friendly and attentive crew, very safe and very fun. Views are incredible and photos were incredible.
Experience not to be missed, unique opportunity to see the Fitz Roy from magnificent angles, the river with its rapids and 'fascinating and Loli with his children know how to steer the rafts with great attention and sympathy. We had so much fun, but above all we always felt safe thanks to the professionalism of Loli, our guide. A descent suitable for any tourist, even those who are rafting for the first time. Highly recommended!
Very very fun activity with professional guide and even someone with a kayak next to the boat for safety! Very nice experience BUT the guide took some photo’s for which we had to pay 20.000 (16$) extra, which is ridiculous.. This made the experience a little less nice unfortunately.
Lamentamos el descontento pero se aclara que las fotos no están incluidas y cada persona tiene la opción de tomarlas o no por lo que es un servicio opcional.
This River trip was exceptional and the guides were perfecto! We are experienced rafters and give it high grades! The River itself was running 3+ (there was one portion not run @ 5). This is a great trip for all levels and Lalita and Matteo (father/son duo) are very skilled and personable. Great instruction for new rafters. DO NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE WEATHER. All gear is provided at check-in.
The company was organized, had clothing for any weather condition and I felt safe at all times. The guides were knowledgeable and hilarious. Loved how they inspired teamwork with all the customers in a short period.
