RIO FUTALEUFU

Alternating between granite cliffs, lush foliage, snow-capped peaks and towering spires, the world's premiere whitewater river pours dramatically through a breathtaking canyon of indescribable beauty boasting one incredible rapid after another. We offer the option of hiking or riding horses on a beautiful trail around some of the more difficult Class 5 stretches of the Futaleufu which makes this trip available to anyone in reasonably good shape with a spirit of adventure. With miles of impressive Class 4 whitewater and the three stunning Earth River camps, this is not an ordinary rafting trip.

DAY 2: SANTIAGO / PUERTO MONTT
Upon arriving in Santiago this morning and passing through customs, you transfer to the flight south to Puerto Montt.

The afternoon is free to explore Puerto Montt, a coastal port beautifully situated on the inner end of 20-mile long Reloncovi Sound. There is good shopping at the Angelmo Market where knitted and other handmade goods may be purchased. In the
