Exhilarating time on the river!
Spent an incredible week with Earth River in Chile, rafting and kayaking the Futaleufu and hiking to lakes. The river is amazing and has 13+ back to back challenging rapids, far more fun and beautiful than a prior rafting trip I went on the American River. Earth River guides are true experts of the Futa and do a phenomenal job balancing a thrilling experience with the highest of safety standards. The guides are very knowledgeable and engaging and helped enhance the experience on the river. Highly recommend trusting Earth River with your Futaleufu river experience!

Extraordinary Journey to an extraordinary place!
The Earth River rafting journey on the Futuleufu river is spectacular and amazing in all ways. The vast pristine landscapes, the professional and compassionate staff, the personal challenges one has the opportunity to confront, the lodging and food, the activities on and off the river all add up to an unforgettable experience. If you are a beginner - GO! The expedition is designed to help you become more confident on the water as the days progress. By the last day the class five rapids are a source of awe inspiring beauty and sheer joy. The staff are so encouraging, always pointing to the positive, they helped me to feel like "You got this and if you don't - we got you!" My love of white water paddling was ignited and I hope to travel with Earth River Expeditions again in the near future. The supply list is actually pretty complete. If you are a woman I would suggest adding two pairs of leggings, a sarong and one more long sleeve top for evenings. I would also bring a thin warm hat for the hike to Obsession lake. I am a plant based eater and except for a milk alternative they were able to accommodate my dietary needs. There were fresh fruits, vegetables and plant based options at every meal. The rivers combined with the glaciers, the waterfalls, the granite walls, the trees, the sun and clouds, the stars and the mysteries of the cosmos are awaiting you. I would recommend this Earth River Expeditions journey to the Futuleafu in an adventure seeking heartbeat!
