O ur aim is to share with you this route from the Andes to the sea which was done 20 years for the first time by a solo Argentinean Kayaker. We have done this route too and decided to include it in our tours to share it with travelers and adventurers of the world. It is important to be aware of the fact that these places can only be reached on horseback or carts so we will take our equipment from lake to lake by oxen pulled carts owned by settlers who live in these dreamy places. They want to keep themselves isolated and away from the road which will be built in a couple of years some 10 km to the south of these wonderful landscapes.
There is also a Project to build a dam in Puelo River which will bring dramatic changes to the landscape and to the daily lives of the settlers. This is why it is important to make this trip while this is still a remote area, untouched by progress.
