Our epic adventure starts easily enough with a 1.5-hour transfer to the La Leona River. There, we will have a safety briefing, explain how to use all of the necessary equipment (wetsuit, neoprene boots, cockpit covers, semi-dry jacket, life jacket, mittens, helmet, dry bag for personal belongings and food), and distribute it to each person. 

Once dressed, you will be allocated to one of the double kayaks and we will launch into the river. The guides will be in single kayaks so they can maneuver quickly through the group, providing further instruction on rowing techniques and looking out for the safety of everyone.

The first kayaking section is about 8 km long and should take us just over an hour. We will come ashore at Estancia La Meseta near Cerro Fortaleza for a well-deserved lunch break. While here, we will hike the incredible Cerro Los Hornos to a viewpoint that features fossilized bones and petrified trees.

We return to our kayaks to explore another stretch of the river, paddling with the current past fascinating geological formations and the colorful vegetation that is typical of the Patagonian steppe.  Our vehicle will be waiting at the end of our journey to continue to your hotel.
