Once equipped, the guide will give us a technical and safety talk, then begin kayaking on the Santa Cruz River. We will travel about 15 km in approximately 1.45 hours until we reach Estancia El Rincón. During the tour we will discover the immensity of the Patagonian steppe and may eventually spot native fauna.

After lunch, the return trip to the city begins in the 4×4 trucks, first along a gravel road in the heart of the steppe and then along the mythical route 40 towards El Calafate.
