Rafting ~ Chile

Set off on a class III-IV rafting trip down the clear, azure waters of the Petrohue River. The mighty Petrohue is one of Chile's most beautiful and exciting glacial rivers in the Lakes District, and is a part of the Active Lakes Adventure. You'll marvel at the surrounding scenery of old-growth forests, waterfalls and breathtaking views of the mountains and volcanos. Immerse yourself in the area and navigate the Bio Bio on a 3 day/2 night adventure from Santiago. This famed river has fantastic views of the countryside including the steamy Volcano Callaqui and a stop at the Avellano Hot Springs. Moderate rapids await you here with plenty of excitement. If that's not enough of this area take a three night extension with planned hiking activities.

For thrill seekers, Rio Futaleufu offers a 5 day/4 night adventure from Puerto Montt. Are you up to class V rapids in the incredible setting of Patagonia? From a permanent base camp traverse the Upper Fu, Middle Fu, and Lower Fu. On your last day the Terminator awaits, a half mile long Class V rapid. Your guide will expertly maneuver through thunderous rapids, so hold on and enjoy this thrilling whitewater experience. Only three hours by car is Termas de Puyuhuapi where hot springs and mountains lull you and fishing and hiking entice you if you would like to extend your visit in the area.

As a day trip from Santiago in Maipo River, take a whitewater rafting trip with class IV rapids in November through February and class III the rest of the year. No experience is required and views of the terrain are inspiring. End and begin your adventure at Cascada de Las Animas where you'll lunch and swim or sauna in the afternoon before heading back to Santiago.
