This is the most accessible 2 days kayaking expedition in the Nahuel Huapi National Park. It is NOT necessary to have previous experience, but being body fit for 2 days of exercise. We paddle all along the Lake Mascardi, surrounded by an awesome landscape of mountains and forest. Lake Mascardi has a special condition of receiving water for melting snow on most of it and glacial waters from Tronador. Due to this we start the trip kayaking over crystal clear waters on a deep blue lake and we finish the second day besides the outlet of Manso River where the waters are milky and with a turquoise color.
