Whitewater Kayaking in Chile

Go whitewater kayaking in Chile with H2O Patagonia.

If you're ready for exciting whitewater, you're ready for kayaking in Chile in the Futaleufu River valley.

Your kayaking adventure will take you kayaking on class II - III+ rapids on the Futaleufu's tributaries the Espolon and Azul rivers. Difficulty levels progress each day as small group kayaking clinics cover everything from basic moves to intermediate and advanced techniques and tricks. Experienced whitewater kayakers have the chance to run the Futaleufu rapid by rapid with key lessons and safety from the pros.

Adventure travel in Patagonia has never looked and felt so good! Each exhilarating day on the river is followed with relaxation and pampering at our all-inclusive riverside ranch and spa.Our world-class guides take stellar care of you on this Patagonian adventure travel experience of a lifetime.

In between one adventure and another, guests can enjoy relaxing moments sitting in the hut tub enjoying the view of the majestic Futaleufu River, receiving a massage from one of our onsite massage therapists or simply reading a book by the fire in our Patagonia style quincho.
