Kayak trip

  • Duration: 4-5 hours

  • Difficulty: Easy

This journey starts at the lodge and explores the rivers and little-visited lakes of Northern Patagonia by kayak. It is a gentle, immersive experience for those seeking pristine nature and beautiful scenery without strenuous physical demands.

Two routes are available. Our guides choose the most suitable option according to the wind and lake conditions on the day, with guests’ safety and enjoyment in mind:

  • Lake Victoria

We set off from the lodge in inflatable kayaks and follow the gentle current of the Puelo River, passing forests of lenga, coihue and alerce. The relaxed pace offers time to enjoy the surroundings and watch for wildlife. Along the way, you may spot chucaos, huet-huets and kingfishers among the vegetation.

At Lake Victoria, calm waters surrounded by mountains and lush vegetation await. We leave the kayaks and walk to an open meadow for an outdoor lunch. There is time to rest, stretch out on the grass or take a refreshing swim before returning to the lodge in one of our support boats.

  • Waterfall Veil of the Bride

We paddle from the lodge across Lake Tagua Tagua, one of the region’s most spectacular and little-explored lakes. Along the way, we enjoy crystal-clear waters, vegetation-covered cliffs and the chance to spot birds in flight.

Our destination is Velo de la Novia Waterfall, which cascades from the mountains like a delicate veil across the rock. We paddle to its base, then land on a secluded beach for a picnic featuring local produce. We return by kayak or boat, depending on the group’s preferences and the day’s conditions.

Both routes invite you to experience Patagonia from the water, with tranquillity, silence and a deep connection to a vibrant, unspoilt environment.
