The Santa Cruz River has been the route of one of the most emblematic explorers of Patagonia: Charles Darwin, and Deep Patagonia recreates that trip aboard kayaks.
In this multi-adventure excursion we depart in 4x4 along Route 40 to the Santa Cruz River and from there, after a technical talk and equipping ourselves with dry suits, we start rowing downstream.
In the course of navigation we will see geological formations and a wide variety of fauna, elements that inspired Darwin is his mythical journey through these lands.

Exhilerating watersports experience coupled with good asado and wine - Ruben was the perfect guide/instructor for us as complete beginners to fresh-water kayaking. He was patient when we made mistakes and the route he prepared was breath-taking. After we got out of the river, a very good lunch and plenty of wine were served in the great Patagonian outdoors which was a fantastic experience in itself. Would definitely recommend.
