Rafting the Magic of Rio Futaleufu - Patagonia, Chile

 

               

About Rafting the Rio Futaleufu in Patagonia

Escape the cold northern winter to the splendor of a Chilean summer and the excitement of the exceptional whitewater on the Rio Futaleufu.  The exceptionally clear waters of the Fu cascade past the stunning Patagonian Mountains, completely unrestrained. There’s a reason the Rio Futaleufu means “Great River” in the local Mapuche dialect--rafting these waters puts the word “adventure” in outdoor adventure travel.

Ease into your Patagonia adventure, traveling from Bariloche, Argentina to your base camp on the banks of the Fu, sipping fine local wines and cheeses, and drinking in the spectacular scenery. Settle into the comfort of your cabana, listen to the quiet babble of the river and relax as you eat a delicious meal and meet your fellow travelers. In the morning, plunge into some exhilarating whitewater fun for a thrilling first day on the river. Two more days of the world’s best whitewater rafting are yet to come, smashing through spectacular rapids and floating through deep pools dwarfed by deep canyon walls. Each night, share stories from the day as you relish a great meal and sip a Pisco Sour. After three adrenaline-pumping days on the river, experience some of the other fine adventures Patagonia has to offer. Try your hand at fly fishing the world class trout waters of the Fu or explore the area by horseback. Or just sit back and watch the flow of the river and soak up the scenery. Described by the locals as “a place so lovely it must have been painted by God”, outdoor adventure travel doesn’t get much better than this.
