Overview

Row the Darwin Route with Patagonia Dreams
I lived a unique expedition along the Santa Cruz River, recreating part of Charles Darwin’s mythical journey in Patagonia. We set off in 4x4 on Route 40 to the river, where, after a technical talk, we began kayaking downstream between geological formations and native fauna.
After a 15 km journey, an outdoor lunch awaits us at Estancia Río Bote, by the river. An experience that combines history, adventure and nature at its finest.

Ideal for travelers looking to connect with deep Patagonia.
