We would like you to share with us the unique experience of rafting on one of the best rivers of the world (for us it’s the best). Experience an unforgettable time on the Majestic Futaleufu River, where you can admire its turquoise water and the beauty of the valley surrounded by wonderful mountains and glaciers.
All of our sections include a complete safety briefing given by our experienced guides, followed by practice in the river. We start paddling in calm water in order for our guests to prepare themselves in the technical skills of paddling, passive and aggressive swimming, and rescue.

We offer 3 different kinds of sections of the river, depending on the level of difficulty:

BRIDGE TO BRIDGE SECTION – CLASS 3,4, AND 4+ (8KM)

This section is one of the most popular and the funnest stretches of whitewater of the Futaleufu River; its great volume of water makes its rapids and unforgettable adventure. For this section of the river is not necessary to have previous experience. It is called “the bridge to bridge section” because its rapids are located between the Zapata Bridge and Futaleufu Bridge. It includes class III, IV and IV+ rapids such as “Puente Colgante”, “Alfombra Mágica”, Pillow, and “Mundaca”, and many more. Duration 4 hours approximately.

BRIDGE TO MACAL SECTION – CLASS 3,4,AND 5 (13 KM)
