Dear Traveler,

Thank you for your interest in Earth River Expeditions. Earth River takes people to some of the wildest and most remote places in the world. Using rivers as our primary means of transportation allows us to reach wonderful places beyond the boundaries of normal travel.

As a leader in international river exploration for the past decade, we have pioneered commercial rafting on many of the world's classic rivers: Patagonia, Chile's Futaleufu, Peru's Colca through the deepest canyon on earth, Tibet's culturally exotic Upper Yangtze, the mystical Himalayan Po Tsangpo and China's nearly two mile deep Great Bend of the Yangtze.

Earth River personally runs every trip listed in our brochure and therefore controls the quality and safety of our expeditions. We have pioneered a number of safety techniques currently being employed on challenging rivers like the Futaleufu which include a full training day and the use of safety catarafts. We owe our impeccable safety record to this innovative approach and our world class guides, who are among the most qualified in the business, averaging 15 years of experience.

The Rio Futaleufu is Earth River's trademark trip. Our 3 exclusive camps totaling over 1,500 wild private acres offer our clients a continuous, top-to-bottom, wilderness journey complete with gorgeous private lakes for swimming and kayaking, riverside hot tubs formed from natural pot holes in the stone, spectacular hand-hewn tree houses for sleeping that rest 35 feet high in the canopy of an old growth forest. The cave camp's exotic stone shelters- with natural sky lights, sand floors and fireplaces, remain warm and dry in case of inclement weather. The renowned Earth River challenge cirque with its cliff jump, tyrolean traverse, zip line, granite tower climb and rappel is often mentioned as the highlight of the trip.

For more information on the Futaleufu, Earth River and our other expeditions, please continue to browse our award winning web site. The site is comprehensive and includes expedition itineraries, gorgeous photographs and a library with Earth River features from National Geographic, Conde Nast Traveler, American Way (American Airlines Magazine), Sunday Boston Globe, Outside Magazine, Men's Journal and National Geographic Adventure, among others. Please call or e-mail us if you have any questions and we hope you will be able to join us in the future.



Sincerely,


Eric Hertz
