Patagonia rafting :Manso river- Argentina about us

The passion for outdoor activities and for the majestic Nahuel Huapi National Park led Jacques and Antoine, two Bariloche born brother, to create a new concept in rafting activities.

In 1995 starts Aguas Blancas. and along the years has turned into a leading company in rafting activities in Patagonia.

Safety, excellence in service and entertainment are the basic characteristics that distinguish Aguas Blancas. Safety is first, so in Aguas Blancas we have top quality equipment that meets the highest level of the strict and thoroughly security controls of Argentine Marine force and National Parks' regulations.

The excursions are meant to be enjoyed every single minute. So we put and extra stress on service excellence and that it reflects throughout the whole excursion: from the transfer service to the exquisite meals we serve at the excursions.

We know that the 'main course' of our excursion is the entertainment. So our guides were selected not only by their technical skills but also by their human values, kindness and good mood. They are responsible to create a friendly and relax atmosphere, the ideal combination to highly enjoy an unforgettable experience.

Our major concern is that you enjoy with us at most and that you leave with that great feeling of having a life time, unforgettable experience.
