Among green forests, lakes, fjords and inlets, the rivers of central and southern Chile are a fascinating adventure and adrenaline experience. Its impressive descents, large flow and steep mouths in the Pacific Ocean, make it a delight for rafting.
To begin, test your skills on top of a raft in low intensity currents such as the Maipo River, a few kilometers from Santiago. If you want to live the experience in a group, the Claro River, located in the Seven Cups National Reserve, is the ideal place to share the adrenaline of a family descent.
Do you want more speed? Then try this discipline in the rafting resorts near Pucón. The Trancura and Liucura rivers will accelerate your heart rate in their class IV and V rapids, where you will dodge rocks and face the current.

From the Andes Range, the second highest mountain range on Earth, swift-flowing rivers descend to flow into the Pacific Ocean not many miles from where they originated. As a result, the Chilean rivers are short but very intense, ideal for rushing down them on an inflatable raft.
