The Rio Futaleufu, nestled in the heart of the Southern Andes in Northern Patagonia is by far one of the world's greatest whitewater destinations. The Futa contains sections of continuous class IV and V whitewater and will satisfy even the most experienced rafter's expectations. The rapids are laid out perfectly for a full week of whitewater excitement. First we do a great warm-up section to hone your paddling skills and review rescue techniques, then head straight into world class rapids with names like Inferno Canyon, Terminator, and Casa de Piedra (House of Rock).
This place is truly a whitewater rafter's paradise the river is totally unique. Its clear turquoise waters pass through a glacially sculpted granite river valley that rivals Yosemite. Close encounters with Andean Condors with wingspans reaching up to nine feet, Crested Caracara, Magellenic Kingfishers and Austral Parakeets are a regular occurrence. In the Futaleufu river valley you have found frontier culture. You feel as though you've traveled back in time, every house is equipped with wood cook stoves, the primary mode of transportation is still the horse and goods are regularly transported by ox cart. The people of Northern Patagonia are some of the friendliest, most generous people you can encounter. It is truly a great culture to experience!
