"I’ve traveled with Pete on 4 river trips, 3 of them covering multiple days. In every case, his professionalism shines and in each case, my experiences have been nothing less than brilliant."

Join us for a journey into the heart of wild and remote Patagonia and the Rio Futaleufu river valley – one of the most amazing places on earth. The Río Futaleufú, located in the northern Patagonia area of Chile, is one of the world’s most renown and spectacular whitewater rafting rivers. The trip is designed to immerse you in the beauty, magic, and culture of Patagonia. It combines unparalleled whitewater, a host of outdoor adventures, luxury wilderness accommodations, amazing scenery, and interaction with the local Chilean people. Half a world away, you can leave behind the cold northern winter and the next day be paddling the azure Futaleufú in the summer of southern Chile. Our goal on this trip is to ensure that our guests come away from this journey with a new sense and appreciation of the world we live in, a better understanding of the Chileno culture, and a profound love for this spectacular landscape.
The activities on our trip range from relaxing to heart-pounding, and can be enjoyed by those looking for the big adrenaline rush or those looking for total relaxation in one of the worlds most beautiful landscapes. Each evening you’ll relax at our base camp; which features a 12-person hot tub with a scenic river view, a wood sauna, changing room, massage room and hot showers. From this camp, Patagonia is yours to explore – by raft, bike, kayak, horse, or foot.
You can mix and match activities to suit what you love to do most. We have a prescribed itinerary that we follow to give the flow of events a sensible structure. However, we will alter or amend activities to your taste. We are very flexible and want you to maximize your enjoyment during your stay. We also want to stress that you do not need to be a Class V paddler to fully appreciate the Futaleufu River Valley. ... learn more

When people talk of the world's greatest whitewater rivers the Rio Futaleufu is always somewhere near the top of everyone's list. And for many people who have made the journey to Patagonia's Futaleufu Valley the rafting is their highlight. The Futa is a big volume river, similar to the grand canyon in size, but steeper and with bigger rapids.... learn more
Your home-away-from-home for your vacation week in Chile – your own “safari-style” tented bungalow nestled into the cliff overlooking the turquoise waters of the Rio Futaleufu. Relax in two riverside hot tubs, enjoy the wood fired sauna, have a drink on the deck, jump on a bike and head out on some single track – there is nothing quite like it. ... learn more

"This was the ultimate glamping experience! The camp was made even more luxurious by the exceptional hospitality of all the employees. The rapids were terrifying, but I'm glad I did them to know I could go out of my comfort zone and still survive! The food was delicious and healthy, the wood-fired sauna and hot tubs delicious and soothing, and the sound of the river while I drifted off to sleep, transportive. The trip including the horse riding excursion, and the inflatable kayak adventure on the Rio Azul far exceeded my expectations in every way."
"Just got back from our trip on the Futaleufu. Can't say enough great things about the trip. The Futalafu was huge water and so exciting to raft. The river guides were fantastic and so experienced with safety being a top priority. The boat safety team included several kayaks and pontoon boats. All of the staff were friendly and so much fun! They clearly loved their jobs and had a huge passion for the river. The food on the trip was so good and very interesting with different themes each night. The tent platforms were cozy to sleep in with very comfortable beds. All of the extra activities, such as horseback riding, yoga, massage, hiking, fly fishing lessons, hot tub, sauna, and more, really added to the trip. This trip was the adventure of a lifetime!"
"The Futaleufú in Patagonia was one of the most amazing trips I’ve taken. The options for rafting, horseback riding, hot tubing and massage can’t be beat. They made me feel welcome and part of the “Fu” family instead of just a client. My favorite amenities were the wood fired hot tubs and an awesome espresso maker where we could have our lattes! Their attention to safety where there were more safety kayaks and cats than rafting boats made me feel at ease as I was not an experienced whitewater rafter. Highly recommend!!!"
