Details:
If you want some action you will have to start up earlier!! We
go to your lodging or hotel to pick you up. Then we pick up on the way
all the equipment and the guide and we are ready to start our trip. On
the way between nice chats and mate tea we reach John's ranch, almost
at the border line with Chile.
We drive on
route 258, up to a place known as 'Paraje Villegas' (70 km - 45 miles)
from there we detour for about 30 km (20 miles) until we reach Tony's
and Dario's John ranch, about 10:30hs. There
we have a breakfast because we will have late lunch and we need a lot
of energy to paddle.

After setting up the whole equipment and that you are dressed up in the dry-fit (neoprene) suit, the guide will introduce you into the paddling techniques and safety instructions. Them we are ready to set off and start our rafting descend. The first half an hour you will enjoy rafting through a breathtaking canyon (velvet canyon) . from the emerald green waters we will paddle into real white waters rapids. From stillness into action! The welcoming rapids anticipates then good thing to come. Then we have other called: "agujero de ozono"(ozone hole); "gritá y llorá";(scream and cry!) "éxtasis" (ecstasies); etc.. It is going to be about two hours of fun and adrenaline in beautiful landscapes.
We finish our adventure just at the border line with Chile where the van will be waiting for us to drive us to the camping where we will delight ourselves with a asado patagónico - patagonian barbecue (pour over with a fine red wine!). After coffee we return to Bariloche.
Important: Do not forget to bring along a complete change of cloths and footwear, because you get wet from toe to head!
