  • Reviewer: John Prunier located in New York City
    Once you get beyond the “cool” of having been the only person you know to raft in Patagonia, you are left with indelible memories of one of the most majestic places on earth. And there is no better way to experience it than H20 Patagonia. You’ll marvel at the beauty. You’ll be challenged by the river. You’ll feel indulged in the way you are treated and delight in the company of others also drawn to it. What you won’t do, is ever forget the experience.
  • Reviewer: -Andrea Jack, located in Toronto, Canada
    "I cannot tell you how much I personally enjoyed our visit to H20.  This trip was probably the best holiday that Matt and I have ever experienced. This must-do trip provides adventure, excitement & skills development in a spectacular setting with first-class service.  The quality of the guiding is far beyond one's expectation so safety is never an issue.  This trip will push yourself beyond limits you thought impossible, with plenty of humour & the company of new friends."
  • Reviewer: Allison Marshall located in Arizona, Phoenix
    “What a full rich experience this was—showered in waters of the FU each day, returning to a hot shower each night. A glorious setting and opportunities to be out in it each day.”

Itinerary

Day 1 - An H2O Patagonia representative will meet you in Bariloche Argentina, before whisking you away to our 175-acre riverside ranch on the mighty Futaleufu River. Entry via Bariloche Argentina is a breathtaking drive over the Andes mountains range to Futaleufu Chile. Once settled, you'll meet your rafting guides who will prepare you for the week's adventures on the Futaleufu river.

Day 2 - Bridge to Bridge, Class III-IV+:
These rapids are big and exciting, but consider today a warm-up for the whitewater to come. After rafting we return to base camp where the activity options abound: kayak on the lake, relax in the hot tub, trek to the top of nearby ridges, or simply enjoy appetizers and drinks at our riverside bar.

Day 3 - Inferno Canyon, Class V:
Today we launch at the ranch and float downstream to Inferno Canyon. This section is the perfect mix of gorgeous pools punctuated by stomping whitewater. At the confluence of the Rio Azul we'll call it a day and return to the rustic luxury and comfort of Antucamay.

Day 4 - Canyoning and Inflatable Kayaking:
If you've ever dreamed of being a kid again, canyoning is for you. Canyoning is the hybrid of water sports and mountain climbing. Rappel down waterfalls, leap into turquoise pools, zoom down water slides, and crawl through tiny caverns. After canyoning, you'll spend the afternoon kayaking down the Espolon, a stunning tributary of the Futaleufu.

Day 5 - Terminator section, Class IV-V:
The continuous Class IV-V action of this section will keep your full attention. Breaks are few and far between until we reach the take-out. Then it's back to the ranch for some well-deserved relaxation.

Day 6  - Personal day:

Today the choice is yours. We give you a moment to rest your paddling muscles while others get a workout. Go canyoning, horseback riding, hiking, kayaking, or simply relax in a hammock by the river.

Day 7 - Pasarella to Casa de Empanadas, Class IV-V:
World-class rapids are interspersed with calm pools on this final day of rafting.

Day 8 - Transport to Bariloche:
After a hearty breakfast and a farewell to your guides and camp staff the we will make the beautiful drive back to Bariloche for your flight home.
