Earth River Expeditions

ESPN Television

"Earth River is the premier river runner in the world. Their staff includes the finest guides to be found."

Robert Kennedy Jr.

“Eric Hertz and Robert Currie have devoted their lives and their company’s resources to saving some of the world’s last great white-water, wilderness rivers."

National Geographic Magazine

“I’ve rafted with Eric Hertz down some tough rivers—the Futaleufu in Chile, the Colca in Peru. He's one of the best in the business—obsessed with safety."

Mathew Mukash, Grand Chief of the Cree

"I want to personally thank Earth River for helping us stop the hydro-electric projects on our land preventing the destruction of one of North America's last great wildernesses."

Outside Magazine

“The absolute mastery of Robert Currie guiding in the back of the raft made every element of the Futaleufu river seem heightened, perfected, colorized, almost virtual."

Jacob Scherr, Dir. of Global Strategy, NRDC

“Earth River is more than a great whitewater outfitter. Their contributions have made a real difference in our efforts to preserve some of the world's most beautiful rivers in Chile and Canada."

For over 20 years Earth River Expeditions has pioneered Chile rafting and Chile multi-sport adventures, discovering classics like the Futaleufu which we did the first raft descent of in 1991. Our specialty is running safe, multi-camp, wilderness expeditions; a rare reprieve from an often harried daily life. In order to meet this challenge on the Futaleufu, which is too demanding for unwieldy supply boats, we purchased four remote, wilderness properties along the river.

Recently, after 20 years of searching, we discovered a journey that rivals our Futaleufu expedition. Peru's Yavero River offers world class whitewater, scenery, wildlife and culture. Imagine combining Machu Picchu with a native jungle lodge, a remote Macaw lick , a water-falled laced canyon bordering Manu National Park and Peru rafting and inflatable kayaking at its best.
