DETAILS

FULL LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
Set off on a class III-IV rafting trip down the clear, azure waters of the Petrohué River. The mighty Petrohué is one of Chile’s most beautiful and exciting glacial rivers, and you will marvel at the surrounding spectacular scenery of old-growth forests, waterfalls and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and volcanoes. Your river guide will expertly manoeuvre you down a relatively mild stretch of river, taking around 90 minutes to cover.

No previous experience is necessary, but participants must know how to swim and be in good physical condition. Wetsuits are provided and there will be a plentiful supply of healthy snacks and refreshments on the riverbank at the end.

SHORT LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
