Corcovado River Rafting
Corcovado River Rafting
When you make your reservation you can choose between a 13-kilometer (8-mile) or a 22-kilometer (14-mile) rafting route. In both cases, an English-speaking instructor, the necessary equipment for the activity, and a snack or a picnic lunch are included.
Half-day rafting (3-4.5 hours)
From the base camp, we'll drive over to the river. Once there, we'll do a brief safety intro and then hop in the rafts, here we gooooo!
During this rafting activity on the Corcovado River, we'll be on the water for 13km (8 mi), which will take us about 2 hours to cover. During the medium-difficulty route, we'll overcome class II and III rapids. You'll be surrounded by dazzling nature in the Andes Mountains.
We'll conclude this route next to the cement bridge that crosses the Corcovado River. There we'll have some hot drinks, sponge cakes, and typical sweets called "facturas". Then we'll take you back to the base camp.
- Departure times: this activity takes place at 10 am and 2 pm
Full-day rafting (6-7,5 hours)
If you choose this option, we'll likewise meet up at the base camp and then head over to the Río Hielo area to face the rapids of the Corcovado River.
After a brief intro, we'll start the longest rafting descent in Argentina. We'll be in the water for a total of 4 hours, on a 22-kilometer (14-mile) route of moderate-high difficulty. We'll have to overcome class III and IV rapids!
Halfway through the trip, we'll stop for a picnic lunch that includes a steak sandwich, a piece of fruit, a sweet, and a bottle of water.
After regaining our strength, we'll continue rafting to the Carreleufú footbridge. From there we'll take you back to the base camp.
