Experience Cacheuta Hot Springs Park & Intermediate Rafting from Historic Center, Mendoza

Summary: The rafting was terrific and they even provided a guide who spoke English. The water park is kind of a tourist trap and it's crowded, but it's a really cool place to see and there are also lots of restaurants and souvenir shops. Also, there's a nice path down by the river if you get tired of all the people. Everyone was really nice and helped me even though my Spanish isn't strong yet.

Summary: Highly recommended! Very fun, guides were in tune with good safety measures. Would def do again! We also learned a lot about the Mendoza River.

Summary: We had an amazing day out, with rafting in the morning and the hot springs in the afternoon. The rafting was excellent; it was my first time trying it, and I would definitely go again. The guides were great, and there was a photographer taking photos from the shore, which we could then access for a small fee. The thermal spa at Cachueta was the perfect way to relax after all the excitement and the surroundings were stunning. A great day out and excellent value for money

Summary: Well worthwhile tour. You spend enough time in each activity so it doesn’t feel rushed. The zip wire is a little short at only 2 wires but is still fun. The rafting was great with brilliant instructors who spoke good English. The rapids were the biggest I’ve ever done so would definitely recommend. You have ample time at the hot springs, a few hours, which is more than enough for there and also allows you to wander in to the water park.

Summary: Amazing rating experience with Salvio and his crew followed by a fun little zip line, lovely hot springs, and delicious BBQ in the little neighborhood outside the hot springs.

Summary: This was probably one of the best days of our trip. This is a must do. We were a group of 9 students from the US. Pickup: They picked us up at our hotel around 8:30AM and then drove to xnoccio adventures where we changed and then got on a big bus. The driver spoke English and the bus was clean and he was a safe driver. The bus drove us into Potrerillos where we stopped at a scenic overlook and took pictures before getting to the rafting location. Rafting: The guides spoke English and gave us a long safety talk before we suited up in wetsuits, life jackets, sun protection shirts, shoes, and helmets. We all felt extremely safe and like we were prepared to deal with any situation. The rafting was about 45 minutes and extremely fun. We went through rapids and paddled hard - we are all in our early 20s but there were older people in our group that had fun. The guides asked if people had physical limitations and were very helpful at guiding us through the rapids. There was a rescue kayak with our group. It was not relaxing as much as it was thrilling. We were soaking wet and kind of dirty after but all of us had an amazing time, even those of us that were scared. They sold us pictures for 15,000 a raft, which was worth it when you split it 6 ways. Ziplining: We got back on the bus and went to Cacheuta where the zip lining and hot springs were. We put on clothes and got strapped in to harnesses. The zip lines were two separate zip lines for about 30 seconds. You zip line over the river. We all felt very safe. We even saw someone get "stuck" in the middle and someone from the company went out and got them. It was the right amount of scary and fun. Hot Springs: The hot springs were so much fun, so relaxing, and very local. There was a town area just outside of the boundaries of the hot springs where there were a lot of food and water options, and sunscreen and little stores. Inside the hot springs there were a lot of pools, a kiddie play area, three water slides, big fake waterslides, and a lazy river. It was so relaxing and fun. We rented lockers for 1500 pesos (they make you put down a 1500 peso deposit to give the key back). There is also a little store inside of the waterpark area and tables with grills. I would say the life guards are probably less present / diligent than they would be in the US but it was never unsafe just maybe if you have kids probably watch them. It was so relaxing and fun, and the views were incredible. We also went down to the river and spent some time there. Most people there were not tourists but rather locals which made it feel like a hidden gem. It was so amazing. Dropoff: They waited for everyone to get back on the van to come back into the city and dropped us off at our pickup points. everyone fell asleep in the van from the long day. TL;DR We felt safe, had fun, and were in awe of the beauty of the mountains this entire time. I could not recommend this experience more.

Summary: This was great! The thermal park was a great way to relax and embrace the nice views, and the rafting was a great way to put some action in the day. The staff were helpful to get me around despite me not knowing lots of Spanish.

Summary: Our rafting guide was awesome! Pascua was really knowledgeable and made us feel safe and able to have a lot of fun! We loved the pictures they took for us too. Zip lining was a fun way to start the day with a pretty view. The hot springs at the end was perfect after the cold rafting water! Just a really great day.

Summary: The tour operator (Xnoccio Aventura) is great, staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. The rafting was great. I went in mid-March, so it might be better at other times of the year, but I would definitely call these "Beginner" rapids, not "Intermediate". That said, it was still plenty of fun and the scenery is amazing! From my standpoint, the hot springs were not as great, which is not the fault of the tour operator in any way. It's a very cool location, but WAY too crowded with people (and most of the pools needed to be at least 9" deeper). That said, again the tour operator was great, helped make sure I had a locker to keep my things in, etc.

Summary: Our tour pickup from Mendoza downtown began at 8:30am and we headed back from the hot springs at 5:30pm. I would suggest having a lite meal before the tour or bringing a snack. First ride is in a mini bus and it picks up people for various tours in the same area. First guide spoke only Spanish and gave instructions on how to split towards following tours. We didn't speak spanish but easily found our next wan towards rafting. Our rafting guide Silvio greeted us and hepled us get ready. All the equipment was provided and we were given thorough instructions. After changing into wet suites we proceed to the boarding location by the river via van. This is the fastest rafting in mendoza, btw L3 and L4. However, I feel anyone in decent physical condition can do it. Silvio asked if anyone had any previous injuries or has any issues and sorted us on the raft accordingly. He lets people switch in the front during the rafting so everyone can get some splash time if they wish. Going down the river was extremely fun. Sections of calm water and rapids were one after another. Half way we made a break to see a little waterfall and have some local fruit Silvio brought. All but my wife and my self were argentinians but Silvio was giving instructions both in Spanish and English as needed. It was a great experience, my wife loved it. At the end there's an option to purchase photos for less than $3 a person. After rafting we proceeded to thermal spa. Several pools of different depths and water temperature. Very nice place to relax. Food and souvenirs are available for purchase. You can rent a locker, towels & bathrobes if you like. You fb pick a time to do a zipline over the small canyon next to the spa. Instructors were very nice and helped us get comfortable with the equipment. First is a smaller zipline across the canyon, then a climb up hill to the top and a faster and longer zipline. It was fun. At the end of the day we met our driver at the spa entrance and he took us to the mini bus meting spot. All together it was a very fun tour and I'd recommend it.
