Prices are per person, from, for the 2026 to 2027 season. Per day is a comparison aid, not how the trip is billed. Every itinerary is tailor-made and quoted individually.
The lake runs into the mountains in long narrow arms, and each one behaves differently. Bahía López is sheltered and gentle. Brazo Tristeza is a steep walled fjord with waterfalls coming off the sides and almost nobody on it. Same lake, same afternoon, two completely different experiences.
Bahía López and the water around the Llao Llao peninsula are calm most mornings and the shore is never far. It is the version that works with children and with people who have never held a paddle.
Calm, and close to shore
A long arm walled by rock with waterfalls dropping straight into it, reached by paddling well away from the road. Nothing else here feels as remote for so little travel.
Remote, for half a day
These are glacial lakes and even at the height of summer the water stays cold. Wetsuits are provided where they are needed and capsizing is uncomfortable rather than dangerous in the sheltered bays.
Cold, not dangerous
The walking is at Bariloche hiking, the wider paddling picture at Patagonia kayak, and the region at Bariloche tours.

Every quote we send lists this in writing, trip by trip. As a rule, this is how a Patagonia package is built.
Hotels selected and checked by our team; private transfers between airports, hotels and excursions; excursions with English-speaking local guides; entrance fees to Los Glaciares and Tierra del Fuego national parks; daily breakfast and the meals marked day by day; a local WhatsApp support line for the whole trip.
International flights to and from Argentina; travel insurance; meals not marked in the itinerary; personal expenses and gratuities; optional activities, which we price in writing beforehand. Domestic flights inside Patagonia are quoted separately or included depending on the package, and your quote states which, with the amount, so the total is clear before you book.
Patagonian wind changes plans, and we plan for it. Every key day has a same-region backup: if the wind closes the glacier boat, you see Perito Moreno from the walkways instead; if the Fitz Roy viewpoint is in cloud, we swap days inside your itinerary. Wherever the schedule allows, we rebook the highlight inside your trip at no extra cost.
