Emerald green WW on Petrohué River

About 5 miles from Ensenada at the base of the majestic volcano Osorno Petrohué River makes its peculiar right hand hook. During some ancient eruption, a lava flow poured off of Osorno and diverted the Río Petrohue 90 degrees overnight. The emerald green waters travel just about 31 miles from Todos Los Santos Lake to meet Reloncaví Fjord in Ralún. Most of the rapids on this section of Petrohué River are class III, gradually increasing in difficulty as the trip (about 9 miles) progresses. Duration about 2 hours.

After transfer to the river we put in our kayaks and prepare us to glide down the clear and not too cold waters (about 53,6°F - 59°F). The 9 white water miles with its 6 large rapids leave us enough time to enjoy the overwhelming scenery of volcano Osorno and a never ending phalanx of forested hills. The rapids are of medium difficulty and promise a lot of fun. At our take-out (which always seems to appear too early) our team is waiting for your to round-out the trip with a hot snack in the heart of nature.
