Multisport trips

Combined multi-day adventures in Patagonia

These multisport adventure trips in Bariloche are specially designed for those with an eager adventure spirit, that each year request a 2 day trip combining several adventure sports in the way (whitewater rafting, mountain biking, horseback riding and camping)…. These multi-day trips are suitable for anyone older than 14 years. We will spend two days in this paradise-like place called “El Valle del Manso” (Manso river valley). We will be in constant contact with nature at its primary state, untouched and unpolluted.

Imagine with your friends… your children sharing everything during these best two adventure days.

Whitewater rafting the Manso river, which has very little of ‘tamed’ (Manso in Spanish means tamed, still) sharing a bonfire at camp site, horseback riding through ancient Andean forests watered with beautiful waterfalls or just mountain biking through the valley and hidden hiking trails.

For those who already have some kind of experience paddling and want to enjoy the river closer and with more action, may choose a multisport adventure with duckies (inflatable kayak), kayaks which were used during the Eco Challenge adventure race. You will be at all times with a paddling guide that will help you and watch over your safety during the whole multisport trip.

Those who are more trained may choose their own tailor-made multisport trip,choosing their own sport combination and the length of the trip. The only requirement is that you have a group of at least 6 people.

You just have to bring along your sleeping bag and the eagerness to experience an unforgettable adventure… we provide the rest!
