In this Expedition was Karen, Sara and Marcus. Sofia and Pablo were the guides. Thogether we enjoyed everyday paddling when the weather was good (not windy), and trekking to diferents points of view along the coast, the steppe or the sand dunes, dicovering marine fossiles, archeological remains of the native people (tehuelches). Whether spending the day birdwatching, visiting archeological sites along the coast, enjoying spectacular sunsets or listening the sound of the Southern rigth Whale, Kayaking in the Peninsula Valdes was all about fun and adventure
