About this experience
Discover the most vibrant emotions that nature has in store for you. Rafting is a perfect experience for those seeking adrenaline and adventure. Our journey begins in the majestic Andes Mountains, where the river originates and flows naturally until it reaches the impressive Potrerillos Reservoir, the starting point of our adventure.
The constant rapids ensure thrilling moments throughout the descent. In summer, when the Mendoza River reaches its peak flow, it carries sediments and creates whirlpools and waves that form intense rapids.
To culminate this unforgettable day, you will enjoy a delicious barbecue by the river, a unique gastronomic experience in an incomparable natural setting. Come and join this adventure that will leave you breathless
