Description

Get into rafting in Petrohué River with your companions

Enjoy 1 hour and a half of pure adrenaline and contemplation on the Petrohué River at the foot of the Osorno, Puntiagudo, Calbuco and Yates volcanoes. Also, admire and capture beautiful photographs along this beautiful journey with our team which will help you make this experience unforgettable. The water of the Petrohué river reaches 18 degrees Celsius in summer and during the descent your dry clothes will remain in the van.

The day begins with the van that will pick you up at the door of your accommodation to welcome you. Once we are en route, we will travel approximately 35 minutes along a very pleasant road that will border Lake Llanquihue to our base of operations located in Ensenada. Along the way, there are many opportunities to take beautiful photos.

If you prefer to meet us at the base, we have car parks and all the facilities you need, including a restaurant. Meeting at the base is a good option if you plan to go to Osorno National Park or Volcano before or after the river trip.

Safety talk with the guides and then an adventure in the Petrohué River

Once at the base, our team of guides (trained and certified in remote area first aid and rough water rescue techniques) will welcome you and give you a detailed safety briefing. Then they will give you the necessary equipment: full body suit, neoprene shoes and jacket, life jackets and approved helmets. You can wear a swimsuit, socks and a t-shirt (avoid cotton fabric on cold days).

We will practice the different paddling techniques before getting into action with the first rapid: “Ciao Seco”. From here it is 11 km of continuous fun, full of class III+ and IV rapids, such as: “Ese”, “Los Pollos”, “Queso Suizo” and “El Nadador” among many others. We enjoy a few places where we stop to get off the raft and experience the river in different ways: climb the cliffs on the shore and jump into the clear waters, swim and get carried away by an area of gentle rapids, etc.

Once the long journey is over, we arrive at the disembarkation point and the dressing rooms that we have on the banks of the river to change clothes before returning to the Base. Finally we enjoy a delicious snack looking at the photos that our photographer offers us.
