Overview
The Futaleufú is famous among paddlers for its glacier-fed turquoise water and powerful, continuous rapids. This day section, known as Bridge to Bridge, runs a string of class IV and V rapids between granite walls, with experienced safety kayakers alongside every raft.
After a thorough safety briefing and practice on calm water, you will paddle hard for about three hours on the river, then share a riverside lunch.
