Expediciones Chile's rafting and kayaking resources around the globe.

Over the years many of our guests have often asked us: "What next? What do we do after we have rafted the Futaleufu?" Of course we would love it if you returned, year after year, to the Futaleufu river; but, in response to our guest's desires to raft and kayak the world we have prepared this resource page. Some of the companies that appear below we know very well, some we are getting to know, and others we have just made contact with.

Please share your feedback with us.
