Experience an unforgettable time on the majestic Futaleufu River, riding it’s turquoise water beneath towering snow-capped mountains and glaciers. This is truly one of the great whitewater rivers in the world.
All our trips offer an extensive safety talk given by our experienced staff, followed by lessons in paddling and river rescue.
We offer 3 different sections, depending on the level of difficulty:
Bridge to Bridge Section – Class III, IV, & IV+ (8 km)
This section is the most popular and one of the most exciting stretches of whitewater offered anywhere. It is not necessary to have previous whitewater experience to join us on this stretch. Referred to as the “the bridge to bridge section” the run includes numerous class III, IV and IV+ rapids including; “Puente Colgante”, “Alfombra Mágica”, Pillow, and “Mundaca” and numerous others. (Duration Approximately 4.5 hours)
