Itinerary / Highlights

Day 1: Puerto Nateles

Arrive Puerto Natales at any time, check in at our hotel, free time to explore this picturesque town.

Day 2: Rio Serrano
A private transfer will pick you up from your hotel/hostel in Puerto Natales or directly from our operation base. We will begin at the Rio Serrano sector (located at the southern border of Torres del Paine National Park) where we will prepare & distribute the kayaks so that we can then begin with the safety & paddling instructions. Our guides will help to recommend the appropriate equipment you will need to take during the trip, so that the rest of your luggage will be taken by a private transfer directly to your hotel in Puerto Natales. This day we will paddle approximately 2 hrs across the 1st section of Rio Serrano, this is a calm zone that is good for us to see the level & comfort of the kayakers paddling. We then arrive to a small waterfall on the river where we will have our 1st teamwork experience in carrying the kayaks 100m approx. Depending on the weather conditions and the hours of light left, we will continue for 1 or 2 hrs more to arrive at the camp for the 1st night. Dinner.
