Itinerary and highlights
This full-day adventure combines coastal kayaking and a nature-focused trek through the Patagonian forest, offering the chance to experience two different landscapes in a single excursion.
Your experience begins with a scenic 45-minute transfer from Bariloche to Camping Wiritray, located within the territory of the Wiritray Native Mapuche Community. Once you arrive at the lakeshore, you’ll begin kayaking toward Playa Leones, one of the most beautiful beaches in Nahuel Huapi National Park. As you paddle along the coast, you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the lake, mountains, and surrounding Patagonian landscape.
After reaching Playa Leones, you’ll leave the kayaks behind and continue on foot with a nature-focused trek through the native forest. Along the trail, your guide will share information about the natural history of the area, as well as its native flora and fauna.
After the hike, you’ll return to Playa Leones for lunch by the lakeshore. You’ll also have some time to relax and enjoy the surroundings before getting back into the kayaks.
The final kayaking section takes you back to the starting point, where your vehicle will be waiting to take you back to Bariloche.
