There are class III sections as well as the famous class V rapids we can tailor your trip to your specific needs, be they surfing the big glassy and throwing aerials on the pillow in Throne room, or learning to deal with the swirly eddy lines, which are the key to feeling comfortable kayaking the Rio Futaleufu. Your safety is our priorityĪll our guides are trained in river rescue and are very safety minded, however it is up to you to decide on which rapids you wil run.Ĭhile’s Rio Futaleufu – Famous for its big water rapids, azure water, and magnificent scenery, the Rio Futaleufu lives up to its reputation as the best river in the world, especially for kayaking trips. We personally know more than 90 rivers in Chile and can arrange custom chile kayak trips, south to the rivers and creeks of the Aisen Region, where we’ll find a variety of whitewater from the tilted slot canyons of the Rio Aviles to the mighty Rio Baker, or even the remote Rio Pascua. Josh has more descents of the river than anyone, and has more than 20 years guiding trips. They all have many years experience on Chile’s Rio Futaleufu, and have been instructing/guiding trips here for many seasons.
