Itinerary and highlights
Rafting: All our excursions take place on the Mendoza River, upstream from the Potrerillos Dam.
The constant rapids provide action throughout the descent. In summer, with its higher flow, the Mendoza River carries sediments and forms holes and waves, creating high-intensity rapids. In winter, the flow decreases, allowing for a closer appreciation of the rocks that are part of the natural landscape.
The trips are led by our guides with international experience and International White Water Rescue Certification. They are accompanied by safety kayakers. All participants are equipped with life jackets, neoprene suits, waterproof jackets, neoprene booties, and helmets. We use top-of-the-line equipment, including self-bailing Hyside Hypalon 14-foot rafts.
Trekking with Rappelling: For this activity, you will need ropes, harnesses, and special rappelling equipment. You will descend three rappels of different heights: 20 m, 12 m, and an exhilarating 38 m rappel. As you descend, you'll enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Pre-Andean mountains.
