Excursion Information
Darwin Kayaking Experience excursion is exclusively available
when booking a 7, 9, or 11-Day Patagonia Overland Safari by Quasar.

The Santa Cruz River has been the route of one of Patagonia’s most emblematic explorers: Charles Darwin and we recreate that trip aboard kayaks.

In this multi-adventure excursion, we depart in a 4x4 vehicle from El Calafate along Route 40 to the Santa Cruz River and from there, after a technical talk and equipping ourselves with dry suits, we begin to row down the river.

During the navigation we will see geological formations and a wide variety of fauna, elements that inspired Darwin in his historic journey through these lands. After 15km downstream we arrive at Estancia El Rincon, where we have lunch on the banks of the river, and then return to El Calafate.


NOTE: This excursion is offered as part of Quasar's Patagonia Safari programs and cannot be booked independently. If you are booked on one of our trips, please refer to your detailed trip itinerary and to your Guide to Excursions document for details.
