The Rio Futaleufú is one of earth’s premier whitewater resources. On your Futaleufú adventure, we’ll take you to a legendary stretch of the river, one of almost indescribable beauty. Flowing through Chilean Patagonia, far beneath the spires and snow-packed crowns of the Andes, the “Fú’s” steely turquoise waters pass through granite walls, lush vistas and river camps seemingly snatched from sci-fi imagination. Our bases along the Rio Futaleufú include houses built high in old growth treetops, natural hot tubs carved into stone, cliff dwellings and rock shelters with fire hearths. The “Fú” itinerary includes hiking and horseback riding, climbing, rappelling and canyoneering. A dream trip for the ultra-adventurous family, couple or solo globe trotter.
