Kayaking on Espolón Lake

Kayak on the beautiful Espolón Lake and enjoy the wonderful natural landscapes of Chilean Patagonia. You'll also learn about the great variety of fauna and flora of this area at the foot of the Andes.

Kayaking on Espolón Lake

At 9:30 am, we'll depart from Futaleufú towards Espolón Lake: one of the most beautiful lakes in this area of Chilean Patagonia.

Once there, we'll embark on a kayak route through this natural area. Throughout this 3.5-hour tour, we'll marvel at the coihue forests that surround the lake and the yellow retamos and red notros, characteristic plants of the area, against the backdrop of the Andes Mountains. We might see local wildlife, such as kingfishers, wild ducks, and endemic birds called cauquenes.

During the tour, we'll stop to meet the villagers living on the shores of Espolón Lake and tour their orchards and farms. We'll also take a break for a picnic lunch on a beach of the river, which will include a selection of local specialties.

After regaining our strength, we'll paddle back to the starting point of the kayak route and then return to Futaleufú, with arrival scheduled for 3:30 pm.
