Packrafting in Patagonia
Packrafting in Patagonia is an exhilarating adventure that allows you to explore the stunning wilderness of the region from a unique perspective. Patagonia is renowned for its pristine rivers, majestic mountains, and untouched landscapes, making it an ideal destination for packrafting.
Packrafting combines the portability of a lightweight inflatable raft with the versatility of a backpack. This allows you to hike to remote locations and then embark on thrilling river descents, navigating through rapids, and immersing yourself in the scenic beauty around you.
For inexperienced individuals, navigation is typically conducted on lakes in the area or very slow-moving rivers that do not require technical knowledge from those navigating them.
In the surroundings of San Martin de los Andes, there are several rivers ideal for packrafting, such as the Caleufú, Chimehuin, and Alumine rivers. These rivers offer a range of technical difficulty levels, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy extraordinary landscapes, gentle rapids, and even stop for some fly fishing.
Packrafting in Patagonia offers an unforgettable adventure, allowing you to explore the region's untouched landscapes and embrace the thrill of navigating its rivers. Get ready to embark on an exciting journey amidst the breathtaking beauty of Patagonia!
