​Who is this trip aimed at?

We are aiming this trip at paddlers who are comfortable paddling grade 3+ big volume rivers and you should be able to roll but it doesn't need to be consistent. This trip can be physically demanding so a good level of fitness is also needed.

​

Sample itinerary - Futaleufu Adventure:

 

Day 1 – Arrival day, land in Santiago Chile then fly down to Puerto Montt airport (PMC).

We will pick you up from Puerto Montt airport and spend the rest of the day exploring the tourist town of Puerto Varas and the fishing port town of Puerto Montt. We will then board the night ferry to Chaiten, Patagonia.

 

Day 2 - Futaleufu River:

The ferry docks in the coastal town of Chaiten just in time for breakfast before making the 3 hour drive to the magical Futalefu valley, where we can outfit the boats for the trip, have lunch and settle in to our accommodation. During the afternoon we will do a warm up run down one of the easier sections of the river to get used to our kayaks and get a taste of paddling on the mighty Futa.
