The
confluence of the Azul and the Futaleufu is beauty beyond description.
Here we find Campo Tres Monjas home of Eco-Camp on river
right, and CondorNest ranch on river left in a grass meadow below
the Tres Monjas peak. The Futa Valley hiking trail crosses the Futalefu
on a swinging foot bridge giving one a gateway to a web of trekking
-hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails.
"When
you think of you have seen it all you arrive at Campo Tres Monjas
and the definition of a beautiful setting has to be re-written."

Eco-Camp at
Campo Tres Monjas - The River Camp of River Camps: Ideally located
at the perfect put-in and/or take-out for the best runs on the Futa,
Campo Tres Monjas is remote and self-contained. All one can see in
either direction is a sprinkling of farms, rivers and mountains in
this vast countryside. Standing guard over the camp are the three
clustered, volcanic spires known as “Las Tres Monjas” (Three
Nuns Peak). Campo Tres Monjas is situated in a natural grove of trees
and flowering fuchsia bushes. To arrive at this secluded peninsula
you must first cross the Rio Azul as it meets the Rio Futaleufu by
means of a canoe ferry. Surrounded by nature, this is truly refined
camping.
"Campo Tres Monjas
is a cross between, Fantasy Island, Gilligans island and ClubMed.
Chris got the best spot in the valley."

There
are play spots, a mild rapid and numerous eddys and pools in the
Tres Monjas area. Several miles below begins a rapid known as “Asleep
at the Wheel”, and below that there is more world class play.
After the “Terminator Wave” the river takes on a huge and extremely
powerful nature. Now begins the longest and largest rapid on the Futa, "Terminator" (class
5). The Terminator can be walked and put in just
above Kyber
Pass" (class 4+).
" Surfing
just does not get better than the Terminator wave."
The Kyber pass leads into the the giant waves of the "Himalayas" (class
4).
How
can you surf the two best spots you have ever seen in one day?
Beneath
the Terminator is Kyber Pass then..."Air Surfing on the Himalayas."
We take out at our private river camp Salto de Chucao.
