A wilderness sea kayaking expedition on moving water, with camping and lodge accommodations, hot springs, abundant wildlife and cultural immersion. This trip offers the unique accomplishment and challenge of a complete descent of the Rio Palena from its start at the Argentinean border to it`s termination in the Pacific ocean.
The first three days of the trip involve significant whitewater and may require portages or allowing our guides to run the kayaks down some sections of river. Experienced sea kayakers will have the opportunity to paddle the entire river if they so desire.
This is for Alumni of Expediciones Chile's Andes to the Ocean Expedition that are looking for a greater challenge. Or for experienced expedition sea kayakers who are not used to guided trips but really want to do something very special and challenging in a spectacular location.
This trip is a complete immersion in the location and the challenge. This trip was a first descent for Expediciones Chile in 2005 and only three people have ever done the entire trip from the Argentine border to the Pacific Ocean.
Expediciones Chile's sea kayak vacations allow you to visit a pristine spectacular world seldom seen by people that they call the "best kept secret of Patagonia" - a magical place where hundreds of glacial lakes are connected by thousands of kilometers of pristine rivers, all flowing through the dramatic Andean Mountain range to the majestic fjords of the southern Pacific Ocean. The sea kayaking trips run through some of the most breathtaking scenery in Patagonia: across high glacier fed alpine lakes, river journeys through rarely explored canyons and spectacular wilderness areas, and explorations of the majestic costal fjords and isolated island archipelagos of Chilean Patagonia.
