Exploration Path
This exploration follows the Río de las Vueltas by pack raft, descending from areas near the lodge to the surroundings of Estancia Bonanza. If clouds allow, the Fitz Roy Massif appears on the horizon as we navigate past riverside forests and the silent presence of aquatic birds. The river takes shape from a network of streams that carry glacial meltwater down from the heights, linking the ice with the southern valleys.
*Operated by third parties and available at an additional cost.
