Description

Whitewater rafting is one of the most addictive, epic and fun activities one can indulge in, and I will lead you down one of the best rivers in South America to do this on, the Futaleufú River in Chile. We will enjoy a wet and wild experience and take in the breathtaking raw natural beauty of Patagonia.

The Futaleufú River is located in Northern Patagonia, on the Chilean side, and is world-renowned for being one of the best whitewater rafting rivers on Earth. Its clear and clean water is fed from glacial snowmelt and it also boasts a river gorge that drops down to 1700m.

Meeting in the town itself of Futaleufu, it is then a short drive down to the river, where we will run through all relevant safety information and dispense all the needed gear. It is then time to hit the water, and over the course of 4 hours, we will experience some absolutely exhilarating moments, with the Mundaca and Pillow rapids as particular highlights. There will also be ample time to take in and admire the unbeatable natural scenery of Patagonia that surrounds us, often regarded as some of the most wondrous and beautiful in South America. After 4 hours, we head back into town, hopefully with your heart still pumping and having fallen even more in love with this amazing part of the world.

Please keep in mind that we offer 2 trips per day, one at 9 am and one at 3 pm. Let us know your preference and we will make sure you have a wonderful time on the Futaleufú River!

This is truly one of the most fun experiences one can undertake in Patagonia – book now to join in!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
