Kayak Lago del Desierto

Lago del Desierto, a mesmerising destination surrounded by ancient forests and hanging glaciers—experience its magic from the water! A perfect adventure for those seeking a refreshing break from trekking.

Day 1

A shared transfer will collect you from your hotel and take you along a scenic gravel road to Lago del Desierto, a hidden gem nestled 37 km from El Chaltén.

Upon arrival, your kayak guides will equip you with a dry suit and provide a briefing on paddling techniques, group communication, and essential safety guidelines to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.

You’ll paddle through the lake’s crystal-clear waters for two hours, soaking in breathtaking views of towering mountains, dense forests, and majestic hanging glaciers.

After returning to shore, you’ll have time for a self-guided walk before the transfer takes you back to town. You can explore the trails around the lake, and if you choose to visit the Glaciar Huemul viewpoint, please note that an entrance fee applies, which is not included in the excursion price.
