Rafting

Full day excursion | Half Day excursion | 2 days excursion

There are so many ways to connect with the snowmelt waters of the Andes. We offer rafting trips year round for the adventurer looking for class III+ water. All of our runs are upstream of the Potrerillos Dam and Reservoir.

The continual rapids provide constant action throughout the decent. High summer flows, chalk-full of sediment, bring huge holes and haystacks. Low winter flows run clear with a natural slaolm course of exposed rocks.

The trips are run by our river guides with international experience and swift water rescue certificates. Safety kayakers join the group for additional support. All paddlers will be equipped with life jackets (pfd), wetsuits, splash pants and tops, river booties and helmet. Our river equipment is impeccably maintained and renewed often. We use self-bailing Hyside Hypalon 14’ boats.
