Highlights
-
San Martín 872 - It is a rafting experience that takes place in the Río de las Vueltas, a river of glacial origin that is born in Lago del Desierto and flows into Lake Viedma.
We start at the Comarka Rafting dome, where the guides will receive the passengers and provide them with the technical equipment.
Once dressed, they travel with the guides in a van (5 minutes) to the entrance area to the river, where the technical and safety talk of the activity is given. The first section of the river is 6 km of calm and meandering waters, an opportunity to contemplate Cerro Fitz Roy and its satellite needles, the Andean forest, the steppe and eventually native fauna and avifauna, it is the ideal moment to make contact with the raft and practice the rowing and safety techniques explained.
The second part advances over the canyon area. After the initial rapid called “Portage”, we will find a succession of class III to III + rapids for 10 km. It is the moment of adventure and adrenaline. Once the descent is finished, a van awaits you to return to the base where you will change and enjoy a snack and a drink to recover energy.

Very nice rafting, well organized on a beautiful river - We had a great time, everything was well organized. From the locker room where we put on the equipment they gave us, transfer to the starting point, explanations (in English, because we were with 13 Germans) and, of course, the crossing along the river.
It was very nice, with good flow, to the point that we crossed the first rapid walking along the bank. After 5km of looking at the scenery, we hit the rapids and it got busier. Lalo's guide, spectacular, made us pass with excitement but quite safely and calmly. There was also marking things to see in the landscape, which is very enjoyable. There are unique views of the Fitz Roy from the river, luckily we had a clear day.

La Comarka, creators of real adventures! - Excellent adventure for our family! We spent a beautiful afternoon thanks to Loly's great explanation and guide. Truly a divine guy with great humor, love of adventure and a lot of respect and care for nature. We truly had an unforgettable experience! Tomy in his kayak made magic in the rapids of the La Vueltas river while he was attentive to our group, he guided us and took great care of us. They both made this afternoon of rafting an unforgettable experience for our family! Thank you father and son! Highly recommended and even on the way back they gave us a hot infusion and bills! Don't forget to visit them! They are the most!
