Adrenaline in the only Argentine river that flows into Chile: rafting in Corcovado
Experience:
The cold water hits the face, but the emotion, the screams, the laughter and the imposing landscape make you forget everything A 15-kilometer meandering route between huge canyons allows you to enjoy the vertigo and excitement of rafting in Corcovado, the only Argentine river that flows into the Pacific.
Relaxed start and very exciting later -with rapids II and III-, to enjoy the two hours that the descent lasts, no previous experience is necessary. You want to enjoy all the emotions: from the initial calm to the moments of vertigo, from the imposing landscape of the turquoise blue of Corcovado to surfing the rapids between the paddles and the screams that resound in the stone walls.
Corcovado has three names and one of them is given by the town of Corcovado, where a steep slope loaded with jumps, eddies, meanders, backwaters and explosions of foam and transparent water make it the ideal place to enjoy a descent of 15 kilometers in rafting in the direction of the Pacific Ocean.
You can hire the excursion from Esquel or Trevelin, or in Corcovado.
