The Rio Futaleufu in Chile is no ordinary river on which to take a white water rafting adventure challenge.
Born in the Los Alerces National Park in Argentina, the Futaleufu flows west into Chile. These are landscapes dominated by snow capped volcanoes and rich rain forest.
The Futaleufu, which ‘Great River’ in the local Mapuche dialect, eventually arrives at the coastal town of Chaiten. It has astonishingly clear waters and flows through deep canyons and pristine wilderness. This helps to create explosive and untamed white water, unparalleled anywhere in the world.
This trip is designed to immerse you in the beauty, magic and culture of Patagonia.
Christmas and New Year trip
Half a world away from the cold northern Christmas, you will be treated to a five star festive meal at our luxurious lodge on the banks of the river.
You will be sipping fine Chilean red wine as you bask in the splendour of the Chilean summer with the distant rumble of the much anticipated rapids just within earshot.
