We spent a lovely morning in the company of a fantastic guide who was clearly passionate about his surroundings. Loads of interesting information and answered lots of questions we had about wildlife and fauna. The Alfajores were beautiful. Just wished we had done one of the longer tours, proper relaxing stuff.

We went on a two night three day kayaking trip in January. It was one of the highlights of my two month holiday. It was a group of 6 of us and the guide and we had a fantastic time. We felt we were getting to see areas that many other tourists would not get access to. I would thoroughly... More

Spent 2 days with Pura Vida Kayaking through the lake district in Bariloche and had a fantatic time. The guide was patience and attentive. The food for the overnight camp was better than expected - I personallu expected dehydrated camp food, but the guide made a fantastic meal and that was accompanied by wine.

I spent a wonderful 2 days with Pura Vida kayaking through the Patagonian Lake District. Their preparation, food and their guide, Julian, were all excellent. I also found Pura Vida Patagonia an easy company to communicate with from England. At least 2 days kayaking should form part of any visit to Patagonia and I would recommend Pura Vida as the... More

What more to say? This is not going to tax your muscles too much. It's very relaxing, calm and easy. Which is good as it lets you enjoy the scenery and have a laugh with the other kayakers and the guides, who are really friendly and good fun. Strongly recommend for a relaxing time on a beautiful lake.

My husband and I joined Pura Vida for a morning kayak on Lake Gutierrez. Everything from the e-mail correspondence to the car that picked us up at our hotel was super organized. The float trip itself was extraordinary. Relaxing effort level, super friendly guides and beautiful sights gliding along the turquoise, blue super clear water. The homemade alfajores we had... More

Pura Vida was amazing to work with from the start. They accommodated our last minute reservations and limited Spanish speaking skills. My group was picked up from our hotel and taken to the launch site. Our AWESOME guide made us feel super comfortable and we had a blast. Also, the lunch and snacks were delicious. My favorite pictures from my... More

Almost cancelled because of the cold and wind the day before but glad we didn't. Thanks to the good jackets and gloves we had a fun and enjoyable time with Diego who took care of us. Were especially impressed by the table for our afternoon tea! Muchas gracias!
