Kayaking Class on Espolón River

At 10 am, we'll leave Futaleufú for the banks of the Espolón River (the exact location will vary depending on weather conditions).

Upon arrival, we'll train you briefly on how to handle the kayaks. You'll learn some basic concepts related to paddling posture and other essential techniques needed for this sport.

After the theoretical class, we will proceed to the practical phase, which will involve paddling almost 4 miles (6 km) of the Espolón River. This is an easy class II route, where you'll learn to navigate the river's rapids while kayaking. The boat handling will include learning a basic technique called Eskimo turn.

The kayak route will last 3 hours. After the practical class, we'll return to the shore for a snack that includes local products.

Finally, at 3 pm, we'll return to Futaleufú.

Pickup

This activity includes pickup from hotels located in the urban area of Futaleufú. If you're staying in more remote places, we'll pick you up at 348 Sargento Aldea Street.
